Among her opera and theatre productions, she has worked as a dramaturge and stage director collaborator on the staging of the Précieuses ridicules by Molière, the Grande Magia by Eduardo de Filippo and The Tragedy of Hamlet at the Comédie-Française (revival in June 2015). She translated into French and adapted for the stage The Comedy of Errors and The King Richard III by Shakespeare for the theatre Bouffes du Nord in Paris (translation published by L’Arche).
