After a career as principal dancer for a number of international dance companies, French-born Doucet began a new career as an opera stage director and choreographer. Recent projects include Monteverdi's Incoronazione di Poppea for L'Opéra de Montréal, Adolphe Adam's Si j'étais roi at the Wexford Festival, and Verdi's Aida for Manitoba Opera. In the U.S., Doucet has worked for several opera companies, including Opera Pacific and Baltimore, Michigan, Florentine, and Arizona Operas.

These performances mark his Seattle Opera debut.
