In 2003/2004 he was the Assistant of Christophe Eschenbach at the Orchestre de Paris for Der Freischütz and Benvenuto Cellini.
Since 2004 he has assisted Emmanuel Villaume with a number of productions in Europe (Opéra Réal de Madrid, La Fenice of Venise, the Opera of Cagliari, etc.) as well as appearing every year at the Spoleto Festival USA (Charleston), where he has conducted over the past four seasons several symphonic concerts and the opera Mahagonny (directed by Patrice Caurier and Moshe Leiser).
Professor of Operatic Role Studies at the CNSMDP, Olivier Reboul led all the rehersals for Parsifal, directed by Pierre Boulez, at the Cité de la Musique (Paris) in 2003. He conducted Pelléas et Mélisande (orchestration by François Bou) and Albert Herring, which was then performed at the Opera of Rennes. In February 2008, he conducted Don Giovanni at the CNSMDP and at the Opera of Besançon.
Once again invited to the Spoleto Festival USA in June of 2008, he assisted Emmanuel Villaume with the opera Amistad by Anthony Davis, and conducted a concert including a symphony by Haydn and die Verklaerte Nacht by Schoenberg.
In January 2009, he assisted Laurence Equilbey with Albert Herring at the Opera of Rouen as well as the Opéra Comique in Paris; he also returned to the Bastille Opera for Strauss’ Salomé with Alain Altinoglu.
