Oriol Tomas is a director of circus, opera, theatre, and gala productions. In recent years, he has collaborated artistically with companies that merge creativity and technology to deliver multisensory experiences, blending contemporary dance, acoustic or electronic music, and video mapping.

In 2024, he notably directed his new creation with Cirque du Soleil, Sublim, in the Principality of Andorra; Verdi’s La Traviata for the Opéra de Massy in Paris; and Alt-Escape, a multimedia performance by the Vidéo Phase team, presented as part of the Seine Canada Festival during the Paris Olympic Games.

Oriol Tomas staged Sauguet’s Les Caprices de Marianne in about fifteen opera houses across France. This production earned him the 2015 Claude Rostand Grand Prize for Best Lyric Performance, awarded by the French Critics’ Union for Theatre, Music, and Dance.

In recent years, he has signed numerous creations and productions on the international stage, including Festa with Cirque du Soleil in Andorra in 2023; Verdi’s La Traviata at the Icelandic Opera in collaboration with Normal Studio; Mozart’s Don Giovanni at the Opéra de Tours and Opéra de Reims; Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess with the Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal; Ian Gordon’s Twenty-seven at Opéra de Montréal; and Beethoven’s Leonore for Opéra Lafayette in Washington, D.C., and New York. He has also worked with the Festival d’Opéra de Québec, Edmonton Opera, Manitoba Opera, Pacific Opera Victoria, Casino de Montréal, Conseil Québécois de la Musique, Les 7 Doigts, Circo de Bakuza, Centaur Theatre, Jeunesses Musicales Canada, Orchestre Métropolitain, and many others.
