In 2005, to continue her project with The Concert d'Astrée, she created the choir of the Concert d'Astrée which joins the orchestra on many projects. In stage operatic productions, Emmanuelle Haïm and Le Concert d'Astrée collaborate with big names such as Jean-François Sivadier, Jean-Louis Martinoty, Robert Wilson, Robert Carsen, David McVicar, Giorgio Barberio Corsetti and Sandrine Anglade. .

These include the reference recording Dido and Aeneas, which in 2003 received the famous Echo Deutscher Musikpreis (Germany).
