Harvey Evans is a Welsh bilingual Director whose work spans theatre, opera, and community-driven performance. He specialises in collaborative, curiosity-led practice, creating rehearsal spaces where play, creativity, and ensemble exploration thrive, and is committed to nurturing emerging artists, empowering community performers, and making inclusive work that celebrates language, culture, and storytelling.

Recent directing credits include La Traviata for Wedmore Opera, featuring a community chorus; Scenes from Under Milk Wood with Nova Music Trust for Spitalfields Music Festival and the Presteigne Festival; and Gwlad! Gwlad!, a new Welsh drama by Chris Harris for the National Eisteddfod, exploring Wales’s national anthem through stories from past, present, and future. He also created The Game, a short film about grassroots rugby with Operasonic, funded by the Arts Council of Wales and British Council, and has represented Operasonic at Festival d’Aix-en-Provence and the 2023 & 2025 RESEO Conference.

Trained as a Baritone at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, Harvey brings musical sensitivity and a strong understanding of text, structure, and narrative in both opera and theatre. He founded May Street Opera, directing a one-hour adaptation of Humperdinck’s Hansel and Gretel and The Egg, devised with composer Tomos Owen Jones.

He has also worked as Assistant and Associate Director with Welsh National Youth Opera and Bampton Classical Opera. Upcoming projects include directing The Bartered Bride for Bristol Opera and further research and development of a new musical and a deaf-led opera for babies and their caregivers.
