Harvey Evans (he/him) is a Welsh bilingual Director from South Wales. He is committed to creating adventurous projects rooted in curiosity and collaborative practice, with a particular focus on developing new plays and operas that reflect and represent our communities.

Harvey trained as a Baritone at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, where he founded May Street Opera to create work that is accessible and inclusive. While studying, he led several productions, including a one-hour adaptation of Humperdinck’s Hansel and Gretel. He also devised The Egg, a piece blending opera and contemporary dance, adapted from Andy Weir’s short story in collaboration with composer Tomos Owen Jones.

Harvey directed Gwlad! Gwlad!, a bold new play for Awen and the National Eisteddfod in Pontypridd. An epic collision of land, song, people, and time, Gwlad! Gwlad! explores the legacy of Wales’s national anthem through powerful, provocative, and at times poignant episodic storytelling — brought to life by a cast of both historical and fictional characters.

With Operasonic, Harvey created The Game, a short film about grassroots rugby, funded by the Arts Council of Wales and the British Council through the Wales in France Cultural Fund. He has represented Operasonic at Festival d’Aix-en-Provence and at the RESEO 2023 Conference.

He has worked as an Assistant and Associate Director for Welsh National Youth Opera and Bampton Classical Opera. Alongside directing, Harvey also works as a Stage Manager. He has toured internationally with National Dance Company Wales as Showcaller and worked on Galwad with National Theatre Wales.

Projects currently in development include a new musical and a baby opera. His upcoming work includes directing La Traviata for Wedmore Opera.
