We're Hiring!
Producing Associates
Helios is all about making innovative opera that is accessible, socially aware, and entertaining. We came on the scene in the midst of the pandemic creating one of the first opera films in the industry: a modern take on Poulenc’s La Voix Humaine. Since then we have presented the music video premiere of Felix Jarrar and B.L. Foxley’s brand new song cycle Stardust and Christopher Weiss and John de los Santos’ Service Provider. Since then, our work has been praised by The Houston Chronicle, The Boston Globe, Schmopera, OperaWire, I Care if You Listen, and more.
With an exciting premiere of Giselle for fall 2022, we are looking to grow our team remotely! To apply, email (contact@heliosopera.com) or DM us letting us know why you’re interested, and we’ll take it from there!

This is not a leadership role but would be a key member of our team. It’s ideal for a singer or other artist who is hungry to learn about the business of opera from the producer’s perspective. The applicant should be able to provide analytics of engagement and growth on other accounts and/or some basic copywriting and graphic design skills. Term of hire is 6 months (April-September 2022) with option to renew. Compensation consists of a package of services (choice of 4 services) traditionally valued at over $1,000 including: headshots (print and digital); audition and/or website reel creation/editing, resume design, biography writing, dramatic coaching, French diction coaching, and others to be discussed depending on applicant’s interests. Helios Opera leadership themselves are not yet paid for their work; all income currently goes to projects and artist contracts.
