Olivier Py

Olivier Py (French pronunciation: [pi]; born 24 July 1965 in Grasse, Alpes-Maritimes) is a French stage director, actor and writer.

In 1997, Py became director of the Centre dramatique national d'Orléans.

Since the early 2000s, Py has increasingly devoted himself to the opera.

His productions of La damnation de Faust, Tannhäuser and Tristan und Isolde, all in Geneva, have generally been well received.

On this occasion he stated to a French magazine (Diapason, March 2008) that he "would not be done staging operas until [he] did Wagner's Ring and Parsifal".
