Marc Piollet est un chef d’une grande ouverture d’esprit: Il ne dirige pas seulement régulièrement des productions d’opéra, souvent avec les plus grands chanteurs, mais s’engage également pour le travail avec la jeunesse musicale, particulièrement avec la «Junge Sinfonie», un orchestre de jeune qu’il avait créé en 1989. Sa grande envergure de direction se relève dans un court métrage de 2015 réalisé par le metteur-en-scène Bernhard von Hülsen. Un portrait qui donne des aperçus formidables dans le travail et les pensées de Marc Piollet !
