He has since then collaborated with such illustrious names as Sigiswald Kuijken, René Jacobs, Daniel Cuiller, Christophe Coin, Jean-Christophe Frisch, Gilbert Bezzina…
He divides his time between recitals with his faithful accompanist Sophie Rives, chamber music and the stage. His recent roles include Don Alfonso (Cosi fan Tutte), Orphée (Gluck), and Golaud (Pelléas et Mélisande).
