Pianist, coach for singers, Nicolas Jouve completed his musical studies in Chambéry, Grenoble, Paris (CRR and CNSMD) then Vienna (Universität für Musik) in Walter Moore's Lied class.

Always attracted by the repertoire of ensemble music, he has been approaching the world of opera singers for about twenty years, first through the repertoire of Lied and French melody, then through opera.

Accompanist at the CNSMD of Lyon since 2003 (singing class of Françoise Pollet then clarinet class of Nicolas Baldeyrou), he is also regularly invited as a coach at the Opéra national de Lyon, for the preparation of opera productions (about twenty productions, ranging from Purcell to Thierry Escaich, via Mozart and Offenbach).

In parallel with his concert activity (recitals in Europe and Japan), he has recorded four discs, with soprano Amel Brahim-Djelloul (Album " Populaires "), mezzo-soprano Anaïk Morel, tenor Julien Behr (melodies by Charles Koechlin) and the female vocal ensemble Calliope (Album Lili Boulanger, Fauré, Debussy and album " Gustav Holst ").

Since 2014, he has also been Artistic Delegate of the RSB artists agency, which accompanies the international careers of some thirty singers and conductors of opera orchestras.

A graduate of ENSATT (Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts et Techniques du Théâtre), Nathalie Perrier extended her training with research into Shadow in the scenographic space, as part of a DEA (post-graduate diploma) at the Sorbonne's Institut d'Etudes Théâtrales, under the direction of Anne Surgers.

She was then invited to Rome for a residency at the Villa Médicis.

She has worked for theatre and opera with a number of directors (Pierre Audi, Marcel Bozonnet, Robert Carsen, Hans Peter Cloos, Sylvain Creuzevault, Waut Koeken, Sophie Loucachevsky, Adrian Noble, Olivier Py, Adolf Shapiro, etc.) and has also accompanied various baroque music ensembles (Amarillis, Rosasolis, Ausonia, les Lunaisiens, les Ombres).

She recently created the lighting for :

Step In, choreography by Olivier Collin, Opéra National de Montpellier

La Vie Parisienne, msc Waut Koeken, Opéra National du Rhin

The Tempest, ensemble les Ombres, Opéra National de Montpellier

Le Capital et son Singe, msc Sylvain Creuzevault, Théâtre National de La Colline

The Princess of Trebizond, msc Waut Koeken, Opéra de Limoges

Die Fledermaus, msc Waut Koeken, Opéra National du Rhin

Alongside her work as a lighting designer, and under the benevolent influence of the visual artist Christian Boltanski - together they invented the lighting for Les Limbes (Théâtre du Châtelet, Paris, 2006) and Gute Nacht (Nuits Blanches, Paris, 2008) - she creates ephemeral lighting installations such as Ciel en Demeure, presented in Lyon.

“Where there is lightness, there is also gravity”, wrote the French poet Maurice Blanchot. The mystery of Fatima Guerrout’s designs draws its deep elegance from the quest for absolute lightness and fluidness of luxury fabrics, and their harmony with the body movements. Her studies of fine arts and design have almost naturally led her towards haute couture. Thus, working with John Galliano, she developed a demand of rigour, extreme precision and mastered elegance; today they have become the signature of her talent. With this experience at the studio of John Galliano, she built on her success by collaborating with the most renowned fashion houses in Paris, both couture and prêt-à-porter, such as Christian Dior, Givenchy or Cerruti. In 2000, by joining forces with her sister Berkahem, lawyer and manager, Fatima Guerrout finally created her own “label”. She has thus gained the liberty to celebrate, with her subtle modesty and ethereal grace, the alliance of silk, silk tulle and lace. By now, her name has become the synonym of dazzling sensibility in France, Italy, Switzerland, the United States of America and Japan. Fatima Guerrout has fulfilled the will of Madeleine Vionnet: “Dressmaking should be raised to a sort of an apostolate. Since it is French par excellence, it should express the French spirit: its moderation, taste and quality. And since it is devoted to the woman, it should glorify her and make every piece of clothing as perfect as a poem.” Lucien Maillard
