Bio

Emmanuel Villaume is a French conductor born in Strasbourg in 1964. He is particularly noted for his work in the opera repertoire, leading productions at major houses across Europe and North America. He has held principal or artistic leadership positions with companies such as the Dallas Opera, the Prague Philharmonia, and the Spoleto Festival USA, where his programming has emphasized both core operatic works and lesser-known scores. Villaume maintains an active recording career, appearing on labels such as Deutsche Grammophon and Erato, and he is recognized for championing French orchestral and vocal music from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
