SalaryBlackheath Halls is a wholly owned subsidiary of Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance, and provides the Music Faculty with its regular base for large-scale rehearsals and performances. We also offer a popular venue for recordings and rehearsals by major London orchestras and ensembles, as well as for a range of commercial hires and social events in our two performance spaces, The Great
Hall and The Hearn Recital Room.
Blackheath Halls is looking for an enthusiastic Assistant Director to work on our 2024 opera alongside Director Harry Fehr. Repertoire is to be confirmed.
You will work alongside Harry to help facilitate rehearsals with professional principal singers as well as with our large inter-generational community chorus, with duties including note-taking during rehearsals, passing on information about staging to singers and leading small breakout groups of performers to refine scenes.
You will be an efficient and proactive part of our small production team, working not only with Harry but also with a professional Stage Management and Music team. You should be comfortable working with people from a wide range of ages,
backgrounds and abilities.
The annual Blackheath Halls Opera is a successful project that has been running since 2007. Blackheath Halls Opera is proud of its programme of ambitious and creative opera projects offering people of all ages from across the London Boroughs of Greenwich, Lewisham and beyond a unique opportunity to take part in high-quality, live music making alongside a professional cast of soloists and production teams.
