Quentin Delépine is a French opera stage director. Since 2014, he has been creating two to three productions annually, spanning theatre, opera, musicals, interactive lectures, and original works such as Spectacteur, Incantations, L'Odyssée, entre les îles, La Dernière Question, Dans l'Antre du dragon, Confidences sur l'opéra, and RAVE/L.
