Biography
Marie-Eve Signeyrole is a French director and author whose opera productions have garnered international acclaim. Hailed by Le Figaro as “breathtaking,” and described by Olyrix as “experiential, on the border between opera, theatre and performance,” she was nominated in the category ‘Best Director’ at the 2024 International Opera Awards and for the prestigious German theatre award Der Faust in 2019.

In 2026/27 she will direct new productions of Der Rosenkavalier for Oper Köln and La Fanciulla del West at Grand Theatre de Genève, as well as revive her staging of Der fliegende Holländer at Opéra de Nancy, following its premiere at Opéra de Rouen last season. She also returns to the Bayerische Staatsoper Munich to direct a new production of Werther.

Marie-Eve Signeyrole’s most recent work encompasses major productions such as Macbeth at Deutsche Oper Berlin, Médée by Cherubini at the Opéra Comique in Paris, the world premiere of Bernard Foccroulle’s Cassandra at La Monnaie, followed by a revival at Staatsoper Berlin, and Così fan tutte at the Opéra de Lyon and Staatstheater Wiesbaden. At Deutsche Oper Berlin she also directed the world premiere of Négar by Keyvan Chemirani, based on a libretto she co-wrote with Sonia Hossein-Pour.

Other productions have taken her to Theater an der Wien, Semperoper Dresden, Oper Zürich, Theater Dortmund, Latvian National Opera in Riga, Opéra national de Montpellier, Opéra national du Rhin, Opéra de Lille, Opéra de Dijon, Opéra de Limoges in works such as Roméo et JulietteBelshazzar, Turandot, Norma, Samson et Dalila, Eugen Onegin, Cinderella, Don Giovanni, Carmen and Owen Wingrave.

Her staging of the world premiere of Jonathan Dove’s Le Monstre du labyrinthe under the baton of Sir Simon Rattle at the Festival d’Aix-en-Provence in 2015 received exceptional critical praise and has since been revived at the Opéra de Lille, the Philharmonie de Paris, the Gulbenkian Foundation in Lisbon, and the Opéra national de Montpellier.

Next to her work in opera, Marie-Eve Signeyrole develops original musical projects that challenge the boundaries between disciplines and actively engage communities. Among these are Sex’y, a participatory performance at the Opéra national de Paris; La Soupe Pop, staged at the Opéra national de Montpellier; and Baby Doll, a symphonic collaboration with instrumentalist Yom, presented at the Opéra de Lyon, Deutsche Oper Berlin, Gulbenkian Foundation and the Philharmonie de Paris.

She is also the creator of 14+18, a musical piece developed for the Opéra national de Paris as part of the educational program Ten Months of School and Opera, in partnership with the opera houses of Nancy, Montpellier, and Limoges. Additionally, she has been a resident at the Académie Européenne de Musique of the Festival d’Aix-en-Provence, as both author and stage director.

Marie-Eve Signeyrole studied modern literature at the Sorbonne and holds a master’s degree in cinema from the Institut international de l’image et du son. From the outset of her career, she has navigated both film and stage direction. As a filmmaker, she worked as artistic director and director for Ellios Production and, in 2009, directed Alice au pays s’émerveille, her second medium-length film, featuring Emir Kusturica in the lead role.
