A prominent presence in the operatic world, he has conducted Gianni Schicchi and L’Heure espagnole at the Opéra de Paris, Ti vedo, ti sento, mi perdo by Sciarrino and Quartett by Francesconi at La Scala, Pelléas et Mélisande, Turandot and Sleepless at the Staatsoper Berlin and the Grand Théâtre de Genève, and Lulu and Samson et Dalila in Tokyo. In 2024, he led Innocence by Kaija Saariaho at the Dresden Opera. Regularly invited to major international festivals, he has taken the podium in Salzburg for Martinů’s La Passion grecque (named “Best Production of 2023” by the Oper! Awards) and for Eötvös’s Les Trois sœurs in 2025; at Aix-en-Provence he made his debut in 2023 with Brecht and Weill’s L’Opéra de quat’sous with Le Balcon and the Comédie-Française; at the Wiener Festwochen with Lulu; and at the BBC Proms with Berlioz’s L’Enfance du Christ. He has also conducted orchestras such as the London Symphony Orchestra, the Hallé Orchestra, the SWR Symphonieorchester, the ORF Radio-Symphonieorchester Wien, the Vienna Philharmonic, the RAI National Symphony Orchestra, and the Yomiuri Nippon Symphony Orchestra.
