Contreras Production Office Ltd — trading as CPO — is a UK-registered company founded by Óscar Contreras to bring professional, internationally experienced production management to the UK performing arts sector.

CPO is not an agency. It is a production office: a small, knowledgeable team with direct relationships across the industry. We work with venue operators, independent producers, event promoters, and arts organisations to make projects happen — on time, on budget, and to a standard that respects the work.

Our approach is grounded in the philosophy that the most successful productions come from clarity, honesty, and genuine respect for everyone involved. We do not take on more than we can deliver well. We communicate plainly. We stand behind our work.

“We are not a large agency with competing interests. Your production gets our full attention.”

What We Do

Services

A focused range of services, delivered with care and direct professional involvement at every stage.

01

Production Management

End-to-end production management for theatre, live events, and touring productions. Budgeting, scheduling, contracting, and on-site delivery.

02

Venue & Booker Relations

Established relationships with UK venue operators, theatre directors, and event bookers. We make the right introductions and manage negotiations professionally.

03

UK Representation

A UK base and professional office for international companies seeking representation, co-production partners, or a local point of contact.

04

Creative Development

From concept to first night. We work with independent producers and arts organisations to develop projects that are financially viable and creatively strong.

05

Event & Tour Booking

Routing, logistics, and booking management for touring productions and live events across the United Kingdom.

06

Strategic Consultancy

Informed advice for producers, venues, and arts organisations navigating the UK market — programming strategy, commercial planning, and market entry.

Why CPO

“The best production offices are invisible to audiences and indispensable to everyone else.”

01

Independent

We are not a large agency with competing interests. CPO is a lean, expert office — your production gets our full attention, not a junior team.

02

International Reach

Through our affiliation with Nyoman (Spain) and a network of European co-producers, we open doors for UK work abroad and international work in the UK.

03

Commercial Fluency

We understand the business of theatre as well as the art. Rights, licensing, investors, contracts — we speak the language and protect your interests.

04

Sector Diversity

Our experience spans commercial West End, subsidised repertory, touring, festivals, and opera. We bring cross-sector insight to every project.

Track Record

Built on a proven
international
portfolio.

CPO is a new UK entity, but it is not a new practice. Our principal's work through Nyoman — the affiliated Spanish production company founded in 2010 — spans fifteen years of ambitious, financially disciplined productions across three continents.

CPO and Nyoman are separate legal entities. The relationship is one of affiliation — shared values, shared standards, and a deep mutual understanding of how good work gets made.

Performing Arts

Theatre, opera, dance, and live performance across Spain, Latin America, and internationally.

Audiovisual

Streaming productions followed in 26 countries. Film, documentary, and digital performance content.

International

Work spanning Spain, Chile, Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, Cuba, the UAE, and the United Kingdom.

Financial Acumen

Production leadership backed by a background in finance and business development — unusual and valuable in the sector.

How We Work

Our process

Every production is different. Our process is consistent — rigorous, collaborative, and built on decades of real-world experience.

  1. 01

    Initial Consultation

    We begin with an in-depth conversation about your project — its scope, timeline, artistic ambition, and commercial reality. No template briefing, no assumptions.

  2. 02

    Budget & Feasibility

    We build a transparent, detailed budget from first principles. Every line is justified. We identify risk early and design around it before it costs you.

  3. 03

    Team Assembly

    We draw on a trusted network of UK and international creatives, technicians, and producers to assemble exactly the right team for your production.

  4. 04

    Production Management

    From rehearsal room to press night, CPO holds the production. Schedules, contracts, technical riders, venue liaison — managed with precision and calm.

  5. 05

    Tour & Transfer

    For productions with onward life — UK tours, international transfers, or commercial runs — we plan and execute every logistical step of the journey.
