Didier Morissonneau is an entertainment
producer in partnership with L’Equipe Spectra. For 15 years
his company has toured major French artists throughout Quebec as well
as American talent across Canada.
From his start as a radio and television host, Didier Morissonneau became
the youngest artist agent in Quebec at age 22, representing such established
stars as Gilles Carle, Chloé Sainte-Marie, Claude Laroche
and an entire generation of young talent from television and film (Mahée Paiement,
Johanne Mackay, Annie Dufresne, Gino Chouinard, etc.) in the early
90’s. His career as a producer began in 1992 with his presentation
in Quebec of the Parisian play Le Petit Prince. Further success
followed with cross Canada tours of such notable American acts as The
Platters, The Glenn Miller Orchestra, Steppenwolf and The
Mama’s and the Papa’s. In 1994 Morissonneau opened an
office in Paris on rue Francois 1er to strengthen his relations with key
producers and agents in France. He crowned his career as an independent producer
with tours of such immense French stars as Michel Sardou (1998)
and Johnny Hallyday (2000). From there he worked for
Zone3 as a producer and part of the team responsible for the programming
of the concert extravaganza organised for the 2001 Summit of the
Americas and televised worldwide. In 2002, Morissonneau moved to Cirque
Eos to handle their international sales. He also negotiated their
signing with ICM in Los Angeles (who represent Julia Roberts, George Clooney,
The Beach Boys and Rod Stewart to name a few) making Cirque
Eos the first Quebec artist or performance group to be represented
by one of the ‘Big Three’ artist agencies in the world (the others
being William Morris and CAA). In 2002, Didier moved to L’Equipe Spectra
as an independent producer.
Since that time, Didier Morissonneau has produced shows for Spectra
in Halifax, Quebec, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Winnipeg, Edmonton, Calgary,
Vancouver, Victoria and Portland OR with an independent promotions team in
place for each city. His most recent include Georges Moustaki, Battle
of the Bands 2009(with the Glenn Miller Orchestra and
the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra), Air Supply,
The Four Tops and Piaf, une vie en rose et noir. In
the autumn of 2006, Morissonneau premiered the original musical Joe Dassin in
Quebec City and Montreal. The show grossed $5.6 millions in its first run
and now tours around the world...
In 2009 he bought the rights to Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt’s Ma vie avec
Mozart and created it on stage for the Montreal High Lights Festival.
