Exclusive: British arts and culture streamer Marquee TV has bought fellow arts SVoD Helio Arts, initiating a restructure that sees long-serving Marquee COO Nina Laricheva promoted to CEO of the combined entity.
Helio’s video content and partnerships will be folded into the Marquee TV catalogue, including the likes of Bon Appétit, a one-woman opera about Julia Child starring renowned mezzo-soprano Jamie Barton and the Seattle Film Festival-winning After Glow, a retelling of Schumann’s song cycle Dichterliebe.
Available in numerous territories, Marquee partners with dance, opera, theater and music companies for on-demand performances, and it currently has more than 450 titles including from the Royal Shakespeare Company and Royal Opera House.
The acquisition has led to an internal restructure, with Laricheva upped from COO to CEO, current CEO Simon Walker moved to Chairman and Helio Co-Founder Ryan McKinny, who is also an Opera Singer, becoming Head of U.S. Content Partnerships.
