Boiler Room Producer

We are at a defining moment in our history. Welsh National Opera Cenedlaethol Cymru was born in the post-war spirit of democracy, fuelled by a national passion for human connection through song. In our 80th anniversary year, we are reimagining the company as a contemporary opera organisation, fit for the 21st century, rooted in Wales yet ambitious on the international stage.

In this next chapter, we are seeking an exceptional Boiler Room Producer to shape and lead our new Boiler Room programme. This initiative will sit at the heart of the company as a dedicated research and development engine, creating space for artistic experimentation, commissioning, talent development and cross disciplinary exploration that will help inform the future direction of both WNO and the artform of opera. Working closely with the Executive Producer and colleagues across the organisation, the Boiler Room Producer will curate and deliver a programme that nurtures new voices in opera and connects research and development activity to WNO’s future repertoire. The role will champion Welsh and Wales based artists, foster collaboration across artforms, and build partnerships across the UK and internationally, positioning the Boiler Room as a vital source of new ideas, practices and pathways for the company and the wider opera ecology.

You will combine creative vision with strong producing expertise, supporting artists to test ideas, explore new forms and develop work that has the potential to progress to larger scale presentation. You will thrive in a collaborative environment, working across departments and with external partners to ensure projects are ambitious, inclusive and aligned with WNO’s strategic objectives. Through this role, you will contribute directly to the sustainability and evolution of opera, helping to shape the future of the artform.
