La Bohème 2050: Puccini, reimagined for a warming world.

FIRST OPERA FILM

An original opera-film for France Télévisions, in which the heroes no longer die of cold, but of heat. I conceived the project for La Belle Télé and France TV, then directed it and sang in it. Living proof that opera can be both sublime and responsible.

FIRST OPERA FILM as STAGE DIRECTOR

"La Bohème 2050" is a world premiere that you will soon be able to discover on France TV. It is living proof that art can be both sublime and responsible, innovative and respectful of our planet. I had the immense privilege of imagining this concept for La Belle Télé and France TV, taking on the roles of artistic director, adaptation, and staging.
