Committed young french conductor based in Paris, Victor will make his Metz Opéra-Théâtre debut this year in a new production of Le Chanteur de Mexico with the Orchestre National de Metz Grand-Est, after having conducted the first performances of J. Haydn's Il mondo della luna in January 2023. Next spring, he will also conduct the concert for his conducting prize at the Cité de la Musique in Paris, and will be Paul Daniel's assistant for the production Le nozze di Figaro directed by Mariame Clément (CNSMD / Philharmonie de Paris), of which he will conduct one performance.

Student of Alain Altinoglu and Alexandre Piquion at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse in Paris, where he is currently in the final year of his Master's program, Victor also trained with professors Nicolàs Pasquet and Ekhart Wycik at the Hochshule für Musik Franz Liszt in Weimar as part of the Erasmus program for one year.

Passionate about vocal work, Victor was chosen to take part in the first National Centre for Vocal Art’s Academy, which enabled him to work on the interpretation of ancient and modern repertoire with the four renowned choir conductors Nils Schweckendiek, Joël Suhubiette, Nicole Corti and Roland Hayrabedian with the Accentus, Les Éléments, Spirito and Musica13 choirs.

Victor has also taken part in master classes in France and abroad with Tim Redmond, Bruno Weil, Juka-Pekka Saraste, Hannu Lintu, David Reiland, Miko Franck, Arie Van Beek, Pascal Rophé. He has performed and conducted orchestras such as the Orchestre de Picardie, Orchestre Régional de Normandie, Orchestre National des Pays de la Loire and Orchestre National de Metz, as well as the Fiskars Festival Orchestra, Hradec Králové Philharmonic Orchestra, Salzburg Camerata and Jenaer Philharmonie.
