Daniel Aguirre Evans is an experienced and motivated freelance arts administrator, producer and opera surtitler, working throughout Wales and the wider UK, and open to new freelance opportunities.
Daniel’s skills and experience cover a wide scope of the arts sector including in artistic planning, producing, orchestra management, concert duty, artist liaison and project coordination, and also a more recent specialism in opera surtitles and theatrical captioning work.
Ongoing current surtitle work includes his continued extensive collaboration with Welsh National Opera. In 2026 this has included Autumn productions of Puccini’s timeless classic La bohème, a series of Schools and Family Concerts, as well as the exciting double-bill of Bartok’s Duke Bluebeard’s Castle and Stravinsky’s Oedipus Rex. Earlier in the year, he also worked on Spring productions of Wagner’s The Flying Dutchman, the mining-community tale Blaze of Glory!, as well as WNO Youth Opera project Odyssey.
Beyond WNO, this past summer also saw Daniel return to collaborate with the RWCMD on their opera school production of Handel’s Alcina. This work included the preparation of surtitles for the production as well as the training and mentoring of students to operate for the college’s run of performances. In addition, Daniel made an exciting return to the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra for a semi-staged performance of Tosca in June 2026 at Symphony Hall, with a world-class cast led by Sir Bryn Terfel.
Another highlight of 2026, was the opportunity to work on English National Opera‘s first ever Manchester based project at Aviva Studios, Factory International. Daniel prepared and operated surtitles for the genre-defying production of Du Yun and Royce Vavrek’s ground-breaking opera Angel’s Bone. The performances were delivered in-the-round, on an enormous revolve stage, and involved integrated surtitles within the extensive video design.
