François Rougier
Tenor
After pursuing parallel studies at Sciences-Po and at the conservatoire (with Paul Guigue and Cécile Fournier) in Grenoble, François Rougier was quickly recognized as a tenor to watch: laureate of the Concours international de chant de Clermont-Ferrand in 2011, he took part in the first Académie de l’Opéra Comique in 2013 and later joined the Nouvelle troupe Favart from 2018 to 2023.
In 2006, Mirella Giardelli entrusted him with his first roles, including Platée and Ferrando, in two productions based on Rameau and Mozart with the Atelier des Musiciens du Louvre.
In 2012, he discovered the work of stage director Alexandra Lacroix in Il Mondo della Luna by Haydn and subsequently became an associated artist with her company, as well as with Angers Nantes Opéra, whose general and artistic director she has been since 2026. This long-term collaboration, marked by his participation in around fifteen opera productions conceived and directed by Alexandra Lacroix, has deeply shaped his relationship to the stage, his approach to multidisciplinary work, and his perspective on operatic repertoire.
His musical and theatrical qualities make him a regular guest at numerous opera houses: Opéra de Paris, Opéra Comique, Opéra du Rhin, Angers Nantes Opéra, Bordeaux, Dijon, Rouen, Limoges, Avignon, Lille, Rennes, Aachen, Lausanne, Liège… Among the roles he has recently performed are Don José and Franck in The Carmen Case by Alexandra Lacroix and Diana Soh at the Opéra de Bordeaux and the Opéra de Limoges, L’Aumônier in Dialogues des Carmélites staged by Tiphaine Raffier at the Opéra de Rouen, Grigori in Boris Godounov staged by Jean-Romain Vesperini and Radamès in Aïda déchaînée after Verdi staged by Frédéric Roels at the Opéra Grand Avignon, Marinoni in Fantasio staged by Thomas Jolly at the Opéra Comique, Sidi-Toupi in Belboul by Alexandra Lacroix after Massenet and Farnaz Modarresifar at the Opéra de Reims, Giannino in L’Uomo Femina by Galuppi staged by Agnès Jaoui at the Opéra de Dijon, Faust, Calaf, and Paolo in Don Giovanni aux enfers by Simon Steen-Andersen at the Opéra du Rhin, and Le Voisin in L’inondation by Pommerat and Filidei at the Théâtres de la Ville de Luxembourg.

He is also regularly invited by many orchestras (Capitole de Toulouse, Strasbourg, Montpellier, Avignon-Provence, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Liège, Bayerischer Rundfunk, Orchestre national de Hongrie…) for concert performances of operas and oratorios.
Highlights for the 2026–2027 season include Trinculo in La Tempête by Frank Martin at the Grand Théâtre de Genève, Don José in The Carmen Case by Alexandra Lacroix and Diana Soh at Angers Nantes Opéra and the Opéra de Dijon, Le Vieux in the world premiere of Les Chaises by Philippe Forget, after Ionesco and staged by Alexandra Lacroix at the Opéra de Limoges, and Mister W in L’Enfant et la nuit by Franck Villard at the Opéra Grand Avignon.

Marine Thoreau La Salle
Pianiste / Pianist
Pianist Marine Thoreau La Salle developed a passion for the link between text and music at an early age. Trained at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris in the vocal accompaniment and vocal accompaniment-direction classes, she was unanimously awarded two brilliant first prizes. There she received advice from Anne Le Bozec, Anne Grappotte, Jeff Cohen, Susan Manoff and Emmanuel Olivier on accompanying lieder and mélodie. Erika Guiomar and Nathalie Dang trained her in the opera repertoire and in the profession of vocal coach.
She was soon engaged as pianist and vocal coach by the Théâtre du Châtelet, the Théâtre National de l'Opéra Comique in Paris, the Grand Théâtre de Genève, the Festival international d'art lyrique d'Aix-en-Provence, the Opéra de Lausanne and the Opéra de Dijon. She has performed under the baton of conductors Louis Langrée, Laurent Campellone, Marc Minkowski, Leo Hussain, Sébastien Rouland, Alexander Joel, Stefan Soltesz and Patrick Davin, and taken part in productions by directors Eric Ruf, Valérie Lesort, Olivier Py, Benjamin Lazar, Yoshi Oida, Robert Carsen, Ivan Alexandre, Ivan Grinberg, Cyril Teste, Pauline Bureau and Denis Podalydès.
A privileged partner of singers, she also pursues an intense recital activity. In the Foyer of the Opéra Comique or at the invitation of the Palazzetto Bru Zane in Paris and Venice, she regularly performs in vocal-piano programmes alongside a wide range of vocal personalities: soprani Jodie Devos, Eugénie Warnier, Florie Valiquette, Chantal Santon Jeffery, Olivia Doray, mezzo-soprani Marie Lenormand, Marie-Andrée Bouchard Lesieur, Anna Reinhold, tenors François Rougier, Yu Shao and Enguerrand de Hys, baritones Yoann Dubruque and Philippe Estèphe...
Eager to take on the limelight, she also lends herself to the game of musical theatre. At the Opéra Comique, she created Petite Balade aux Enfers, based on Gluck's Orphée et Eurydice, and Petite Balade Enchantée, based on The Magic Flute, with director Valérie Lesort, and took on the role of the martyred pianist in her Cabaret Horrifique for the small screen. With Arnaud Marzorati and his clique Les Lunaisiens, she created On n'est pas là pour chanter des Cantiques, L'Estaminet lyrique and La Vipère du Trottoir with Magali Léger (Musée d'Orsay). With Olivier Martin Salvan, she created La Caballe rebondissante alongside Lea Desandre and Marc Mauillon. With Bruno Bayeux, Le Cabaret autour de Sarah Bernhardt alongside Nathalie Manfrino, Yoann Dubruque...
Passionate about the French operatic repertoire, she is also an active vocal coach. She has a particularly close working relationship with the Opéra Comique in Paris: as coach to the singers in the Académie, and as principal vocal coach on the company's productions. She is also a vocal coach for director Alain Garichot's summer academies (Sorru in Musica-Corse) and for the international summer academy at Domaine Forget (Canada), at the invitation of baritone Jean-François Lapointe.
She is a vocal coach at the Haute École de Musique de Genève in Neuchâtel (Switzerland).
