Theatrical Licensing Role

The Theatrical Licensing Team oversees the use of music from the Boosey & Hawkes catalogue in dramatic contexts such as in operas, dance, musicals and plays, across a wide range of territories. It guides its customers through the process, from initial application to obtaining permissions and approvals required for performances to be licensed. The Team also handles associated permissions for the filming of performances and the making available of those films in cinemas, broadcasts, DVD/Blu-ray and via online media. Team members maintain and nurture close relationships with Boosey & Hawkes’ house composers and composer estates as well as overseas agents, affiliates, performing organisations, presenters, conductors, directors and choreographers.

The Team works in close collaboration with the Rental Services Team, which handles the hiring of performing materials to amateur and professional customers. This role may include the handling of some rental activity alongside the core theatrical licensing functions.
