MARIE PERBOST

Encouraged from an early age by her singer mother, Marie Perbost joined the prestigious Maîtrise de Radio-France, where she performed in France and abroad under the baton of the greatest conductors (Kurt Masur, Myung Wung Chung…). After graduating from the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Paris, she studied with Alain Buet and Cécile de Boever, where she discovered the subtleties of the profession of opera singer. She completed her training at the Académie de l’Opéra National de Paris.

In 2016, she was named Révélation Lyrique by ADAMI. After obtaining a master’s degree with unanimous acclaim, she perfected her skills at the Academies of the Festival d’Aix-en-Provence (where she received the Prix des Amis du Festival d’Aix) and the Salzburg Festival, where she was lucky enough to sing her first Pamina in Mozart’s The Magic Flute. A regular performer, she has attracted the attention of prestigious conductors such as Emmanuelle Haïm and Le Concert d’Astrée for an international tour. She has also been a guest at major festivals such as Les Folles journées de Nantes, Le Festival des forêts, Festival d’Aix-en-Provence, Théâtre des Champs-Elysées, Festival Pablo Casals, etc.

CASE SCAGLIONE

Case Scaglione has been named Music Director and Principal Conductor of the Orchestre national d’Île-de-France in 2019. On the strength of his successful artistic collaboration with the Orchestra, he has been reappointed until August 2026.

He is a graduate of the Cleveland Institute of Music, the Peabody Institute and the Aspen Academy of Conducting, where he was awarded the James Conlon Prize. A passionate opera fan, in spring 2022 he made his debut at the Opéra national de Paris with Richard Stauss’s Elektra, directed by Robert Carsen. He also conducted Wagner’s Le Vaisseau fantôme at the Opéra de Massy with the Orchestre national d’Île-de-France. He has conducted the Württembergisches Kammerorchester Heilbronn at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, the Musikverein in Vienna and the Herkulessaal in Munich. With this orchestra, he recorded the symphonies by Carl Ditters von Dittersdorf based on Ovid’s Metamorphoses and ‘Father Copland’ with clarinettist Sebastian Manz. In December 2023, he has been invited to conduct Mahler’s Fifth Symphony with the Cincinatti Orchestra.

ORCHESTRE NATIONAL D’ILE-DE-FRANCE

The mission of the Orchestre national d’Île-de-France is to bring the symphonic repertoire to life everywhere and for everyone in the Ile-de-France region, and to make it accessible to everyone.
With 95 permanent musicians based at the Philharmonie de Paris, the Orchestre national d’Île-de-France gives around a hundred concerts a season throughout the region, offering the people of Ile-de-France a rich repertoire spanning four centuries of music. The orchestra pursues an ambitious and open artistic policy, based on regular collaborations with a wide range of artists from diverse backgrounds. It promotes and supports contemporary creation by welcoming composers in residence such as Anna Clyne, Dai Fujikura and Guillaume Connesson, for commissions of symphonic works, opera performances and musical tales to enrich its repertoire. In 2019, Case Scaglione will succeed Enrique Mazzola as Music Director and Principal Conductor. A fervent defender of the orchestra’s mission, he enjoys sharing his passion for the symphonic repertoire with as many people as possible. Proud to be one of the twenty orchestras in the world most involved in cultural action, the Orchestra imagines and develops creative educational initiatives that place children at the heart of the educational project – notably through numerous participatory concerts and musical performances for the whole family.
