 Jean-Paul Fouchécourt has been one of the main exponents of
the French Baroque repertoire for the last decade, working with conductors
such as Ryan Brown, William Christie, Marc Minkowsky, René Jacobs and Christophe
Rousset. His performances and recording of works by Rameau and Lully have
received huge acclaim, and in addition he has in the last few years
performed repertoire from Berlioz to Offenbach and Britten. Mr.
Fouchécourt made his Metropolitan Opera debut in Offenbach's Les Contes
d'Hoffman, and has sung the title role in Rameau's Platée in a
joint production of the Edinburgh Festival and the Royal Opera House,
Covent Garden. He also recorded Poulenc's Les Mamelles de Tirésias
with Seiji Ozawa, and made his Boston Symphony debut with Maestro Ozawa
last year. Current engagements include: Britten's Les Illuminations
at the Bridgewater Hall with the BBC Philharmonic conducted by Yan Pascal
Tortelier; a new production of Platée at the Bastille; Arnalta in
Poppea at the Aix-en-Provence Festival; The Four Servants in Les
Contes d'Hoffman at Convent Garden and Choregies d'Orange; Arnalta in
Poppea in the Netherlands Opera and L'Arithmétique; and Le Fils in
L'Enfant et les Sortilèges and Mamelles de Tirésias at the
Metropolitan Opera.
