Nicolas Rigas

Distinguished at the Talents Cannes[1][6] in 2002, Rigas plays with Alexandra Lamy in Au suivant![7] and Artus de Penguern's Gregoire Moulin vs. Humanity.[8]

In 2009, on the occasion of years of the Théâtre du petit monde,[9] he directed Le Misanthrope ou l'Atrabilaire amoureux with Delphine Depardieu.[10] Strengthened by this success and recognized for giving "modernity to the Classics",[11][1] he set up Le Malade imaginaire at the Grandes Écuries du Château de Versailles[12][13][14] from where he will make all his new creations: The Barber of Seville (adaptation of Beaumarchais by Rossini)[15][16] Les Précieuses ridicules[17][11] and L'École des femmes by Molière associated with Offenbach's the Tales of Hoffmann.[18][19][1][20]

For the reopening of the Algiers Opera House, he staged Don Giovanni[21][22] which he also sang. He is Haly in L'italiana in Algeri at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées with Marie-Nicole Lemieux under the direction of Roger Norrington[23] of which the musicology website says:

Nicolas Rigas's excellent Haly - a very beautiful bass baritone voice well conducted - composes a character of a falsely obsessive and amusingly funny butler.[24]

He was "Les Quatre Diables" in The Tales of Hoffmann directed by Julie Depardieu[25][26][27] for Opéra en plein air produced by Tristan Duval, and sang the title role of contemporary opera in The Secret Agent by Michael Dellaira[28] at the Center for Contemporary Opera in New York and Szeged and the Opéra d'Avignon[29][30][31][32][33]

A multi-faceted lyrical artist, he sings in both operettas, operas bouffe and classical operas in Paris, London, Montreal, New York and Montreal.[33][34][35][36][37][38] and created with Martin Loizillon and female singer friends, a humorous clip on the circumflex that will make the "buzz" on the Internet and in newspapers, in response to the recommended spelling reform.[39][40][41][42][43][44]
