Volumes co-edited with Jean-Christophe Branger are: Figures de l'antiquité dans l'opéra français des Troyens de Berlioz à l’Œdipe d'Enesco (Saint-Étienne: Publications de l'Université de Saint-Étienne, 2008) and Aspects de l'opéra français de Meyerbeer à Honegger (Lyons: Symétrie, 2009). Branger and Giroud also organize and participate in the biennial Massenet conference at Saint-Étienne (coordinated with the Massenet Festival) and are preparing a thematic catalogue of his works.
