For the Opéra National de Bordeaux he has collaborated with the composer Lise Borel on a chamber version of La traviata for three singers and four instrumentalists.

In 2024 he was the librettist for the re-creation of Voltaire and Rameau’s lost opera Samson at the Festival d’Aix-en-Provence, and directed the recital programme Moving Songs at the Opéra de Dijon.
