Jean-Luc Tingaud
Conductor

After studying the piano and conducting at the Paris National Conservatoire, Jean-Luc Tingaud was chosen by Manuel Rosenthal to be his assistant. Rosenthal, himself a pupil of Maurice Ravel, was a formative influence, instilling in the younger man his passion for French music.

Opera has always been one of Jean-Luc Tingaud's main interests. Since 2001 he has been a regular guest at the Wexford Festival where, amongst other things, he has conducted Massenet’s Sapho, Fauré’s Pénélope, and Chabrier’s Le Roi malgré lui. Other engagements have included Le nozze di Figaro, Mireille, L’elisir d’amore, La bohème, Così fan tutte, Carmen and Faust at the Théâtre d'Herblay in Paris, Berlioz's Roméo et Juliette at the Teatro Nacional de Sao Carlos in Lisbon, Werther at the Festival della Valle d'Itria in Martina Franca, La Damnation de Faust in Reims, Pelléas et Mélisande and Carmen at the Opéra de Toulon, Le Siège de Corinthe at the Rossini Festival in Wildbad, Faust at the Macerata Festival, The Turn of the Screw at the Opéra de Lille, L’Heure espagnole with l’Atelier Lyrique de l’Opéra de Paris, Dialogues des carmélites, Madama Butterfly and La bohème for Pittsburgh Opera and Pelléas et Mélisande at the Prague National Theatre.

His discography includes Sapho recorded at Wexford (Fonè), Werther recorded at Martina Franca (Dynamic), La Voix humaine recorded at Compiègne (DVD) and Le Siège de Corinthe (Naxos) recorded at Bad Wildbad. Recently he has begun a series of recordings of symphonic music for Naxos; the first two, of music by Dukas (The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, La Péri and Symphony in C) and Bizet (Roma, Patrie, Jeux d’enfants etc.) with the RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra in Dublin, and the third, of music by d’Indy, including his Symphony No.2, with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra. A fourth CD with the RTÉ NSO, of music by Poulenc (Les Biches, Sinfonietta and Les Animaux modèles), was released in May 2018.

In 2004 he made his London debut at the Barbican conducting the English Chamber Orchestra with soloists Joshua Bell and Steven Isserlis. Other orchestras he has worked with include the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, the Ulster Orchestra, the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, the Orchestra Filarmonica Arturo Toscanini, the Orchestra of the Teatro Carlo Felice in Genova, the Orchestra of the Teatro Massimo in Palermo, the Warsaw and Krakow Philharmonic Orchestras, the Orchestre National des Pays de la Loire, Orchestre National de Lyon and the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra, and he has recently been appointed Principal Guest Conductor of the Beethoven Academy Orchestra in Krakow.

Recent engagements have included The Pearl Fishers for English National Opera, a tour of UK venues, including London, with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, his debut at the Arena di Verona conducting Roméo et Juliette with a cast including Vittorio Grigolo and Lana Kos, La Fille du régiment at the Teatro Real in Madrid, Die Entführung aus dem Serail for The Grange Festival and Carmen at the New National Theatre Tokyo.

Future plans include recordings of music by César Franck, including the complete Psyché, and Massenet with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, Spontini’s Fernand Cortez in Florence, Donizetti’s L’ange de Nisida in Bergamo and Lakmé at the National Centre for the Performing Arts, Beijing.
