Job Summary

Opera Singer (Soprano)

Job Description

We need an operatic soprano to collaborate on our performances of 'Gaston Leroux's Phantom of the Opera' this October and November!

Moonlight is a performing arts company that creates immersive classical music experiences, concerts, shows and exhibitions. It celebrates interdisciplinary collaboration with writers and storytellers, visual artists, dancers and filmmakers (and beyond) to push the boundaries of what a classical concert can be and create the 'performance of the future.' Moonlight reimagines what a concert can be.

Our shows have received several five-star reviews in the press and collaborate with festivals across the UK including the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and the Brighton Fringe:
"Matthew Shiel 'composed' a most enchanting concert" ( Edinburgh Guide)
"Sim and Shiel both are masters of their crafts" ( Binge Fringe Magazine)
"Matthew Shiel shone" ( Three Weeks)

We are planning a short tour of Gaston Leroux's The Phantom of the Opera (8.30pm - 9.30pm):

THURSDAY 30TH OCTOBER
Halle St Peters (Victoria Wood Hall), MANCHESTER

FRIDAY 31ST OCTOBER
St Cecelia's Concert Hall, EDINBURGH

SATURDAY 1ST NOVEMBER
1901 Arts Club, LONDON

This is not Andrew Lloyd-Webber's production but our version based on the original novel and returning the singing to its operatic roots. It is a performance for piano, narrator and singer.

We successfully performed it with Ellie Donald on Valentine's Day 2025 to an excellent audience.

Contract: Freelance
Salary: £150 per performance (3 hours work in total; one hour performing + two hours rehearsal; rate of pay: £50p/h)

Job Requirements

As part of the performance, you would have to sing 6 arias of your choice (as long as they fit the mood of the drama at that particular point in the story) - you would represent Christine.

Successful collaborations often develop into long-term creative partnerships beyond; we are looking to support the development of artists.

Job Responsibilities

To perform opera and rehearse as required
