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 Hahn’s Ciboulette for Opera Zuid, Offenbach’s L’île de Tulipatan for Opéra National de Lyon, 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, Tosca in Besançon, Werther at the Festival della Valle d’Itria in Martina Franca, La damnation de Faust in Reims, Véronique in Metz, Pelléas et Mélisande and Carmen at the Opéra de Toulon, Hahn’s Mozart at the Spoleto Festival, Carmen for Palm Beach Opera, 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, Pelléas et Mélisande in Rennes, L’heure espagnolewith l’Atelier Lyrique de l’Opéra de Paris, Dialogues des carmélites and Madama Butterfly 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. He has recently recorded four further CDs for Naxos with the RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra in Dublin and the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, the first, of music by Dukas (The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, La péri and Symphony in C) and the second, of music by Bizet (Roma, Patrie, Jeux d’enfants etc.) both of which have received outstanding reviews ; the third CD is of music by d’Indy (including Symphony No.2) and the fourth one of music by Poulenc. Two further recordings of music by Franck and Massenet with the RSNO will be released by Naxos in 2020.
In the symphonic field, Jean-Luc Tingaud has been named First guest conductor of the Poland based Beethoven Academy Orchestra since September 2019.
