After the premiere of Pelléas et Mélisande in concert in Moscow, conducted by Manuel Rosenthal, Vincent le Texier had a profound experience: that of Peter Brook’s Impressions de Pelléas. From that moment on, he tackled a repertoire ranging from the Baroque (Platée by Rameau) to contemporary creation (Kagel, Constant, Aperghis, Saariaho, Rautavaara, Manoury, Fénelon, Testi, Dalbavie…), Mozart (Leporello, Don Giovanni, Alfonso), 19th century opera (Barbiere di Siviglia, Freischütz, Damnation of Faust, Tales of Hoffmann, La Bohème, Vaisseau Fantôme, Don Quichotte…) and of the 20th century (Pelléas et Mélisande, Salomé, The Love of Three Oranges, Wozzeck, Capriccio, Eine Florentinische Tragödie, Der Zwerg, L’Affaire Makropoulos, Katia Kabanova, Little Cunning Vixen, Peter Grimes and Saint Francis of Assisi, in which he sang the title role).

He has been invited to perform on many stages (Opéra de Paris, Lyon, Bordeaux, Théâtre des Champs-Elysées, Cité de la Musique, Théâtre de La Monnaie, San Francisco Opera, Geneva Opera, La Fenice, Stuttgart, Cologne, Munich, Madrid, Basel, Essen, Sao Paulo, Amsterdam Concertgebouw, Salzburg Festival, Milan Scala, etc.) and works with prestigious conductors such as M. Minkowski, K.Nagano, J.Nelson, M.Janowski, E.Krivine, C.Eschenbach, D.Kawka, A.Altinoglu, M.-W.Chung, R.Muti, S.Cambreling, C.Rousset, P.Jordan, S.Denève, S.Mälkki, C.Dutoit.

His talents as an actor have made him a much sought-after performer by major directors (B.Wilson, G.Lavaudant, R.Carsen, Y.Kokkos, L.Pelly, J.Savary, K.Warlikowski, C.Honoré).

More recently, he interpreted the role of the Father in the creation of Pinocchio by Boesmans at the Festival d’aix en Provence, a production which was repeated at the Théâtre de la Monnaie, the Opéra de Dijon and the Opéra de Bordeaux. In concert, he enjoyed great success in the title role of Saint François d’Assise at the Japanese premiere of Messiaen’s work at Tokyo’s Suntory Hall: these concerts were a great success and were voted the best classical music event of 2017 in Japan. He has just performed the role of Arkel (Pelléas et Mélisande) for the first time at the Opéra du Rhin and Dijon, and Basilio (Il Barbiere di Siviglia) at the Opéra de Saint-Etienne, Nick Shadow (The Rake’s progress) at Opéra de Nice, Barbe Bleue in Ariane et Barbe Bleue by Dukas at Théâtre du Capitole de Toulouse, Général Boum (La Grande Duchesse de Gérolstein) at Opéra de Cologne, l’Inondation by Filidei, directed by Pommerat, the title role in Massenet’s Don Quichotte at the Opéra de saint-Etienne, Salieri (Mozart and Salieri) at the Opéra de Toulon, Aye (Akhnaten) at the Opéra de Nice,  Bluebeard (Ariadne and Bluebeard) at the Opéra de Nancy, Le Bailli (Werther) at the Opéra de Lausanne, Bartolo (Le Nozze di Figaro) at the Opéra de Saint-Etienne, Arkel (Pelléas et Mélisande) at the Opéra de Montpellier and in Modena.
