He is regularly invited by the Strasbourg Philharmonic Orchestra, the Orchestre de Normandie, the Ensemble Intercontemporain, and the Orchestra of Colombia. His passion for voice and opera has led him to conduct numerous lyric productions, particularly at the Nice Opera (Akhnaten, Orphée aux Enfers), the Avignon Opera (Carmen, Three Lunar Seas), and the Paris Opera Academy, with whom he performed Benjamin Britten’s “The Rape of Lucretia”.
Among his recent engagements are concerts with the Württemberg Philharmonic Orchestra, the Orchestre du Capitole de Toulouse, as well as opera productions at the Toulon Opera and the Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires.
