Specializing in the cultural life of the court of Louis XIV at Saint-Germain-en-Laye, I have done extensive research on Jean-Baptiste Lully, his operas and comedy-ballets.

I have done extensive research and interviews for a new article I am writing on Huguette Dreyfus. To see the first article, click below.
