Olivier
Professeur d'accompagnement au piano instrumental et vocal
Emmanuel Olivier performs as a soloist and with numerous singers and instrumentalists at the Auditorium du Musée d'Orsay, the BNF and the Cité de la Musique in Paris, at the Montpellier and Aix festivals, at the opera houses of Lille, Toulouse and Tours, as well as throughout Europe and Asia.
At the same time, his collaboration with great conductors such as Altinoglu, De Billy, Eschenbach, Eötvös, Gardiner, Haïm, Harding, Nelson and Roth naturally led him to conduct operas (Mozart, Strasnoy, Puccini, Hahn, Vaughan Williams, etc.).
A long and fruitful partnership with Jean-Claude Malgoire led him to conduct La Grande Écurie et la Chambre du Roy on numerous occasions, in works by Gluck (with Philippe Jarrousky), Mozart, Rossini and Poulenc (La Voix humaine with Véronique Gens).
After studying at the Paris Conservatoire, he became an assistant professor of vocal accompaniment there. He has given several masterclasses on the French repertoire at the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing and at the Musikhochschule in Karlsruhe. He has also taught at Royaumont, the CNSM in Lyon, the Universität für Musik in Vienna, the Opéra Studio de l'Opéra du Rhin and the OperAvenir studio in Basel, as well as at the Académie Européenne du Festival d'Aix-en-Provence.
His discography includes ‘J'aurai voulu être une chanteuse’, ‘Le cœur en forme de fraise’ and ‘Qu'as-tu fait de ta jeunesse’ with Carl Ghazarossian (Hortus), ‘Soir païen’ with Alexis Kossenko and Anna Reinhold (Aparté), and ‘French songs’ by Lou Koster with Vincent Lièvre-Picard (AR RE-SE).
