GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

Spanish term or phrase: regente
This is evidently a post in a theater. In a script about the production of an opera, there are several references:

La Regente toma a Beatriz [a singer who is auditioning] del brazo y la acompaña hasta el centro de la sala. Antes de que Beatriz pueda reaccionar, el piano ya está sonando.

Las voces rebotan en la sala. EL director camina junto a ella, recitando para sí mismo. La Regente a un lado y el pianista que sigue la melodía.

I have been using coordinator, but is there a more specific term?

Thanks

vocal coach
Explanation:
If, as I believe, you are referring specifically to the Colón, this theater uses "regente" to refer to the persons responsible for training in the various artistic areas involved in opera:

See:
Regente de la Carrera de Canto
Rozita Zozoulia
Regente de la Carrera de Danza
Tatiana Fesenko
Regente de la Carrera de Dirección Escénica de Ópera
Betty Gambartes
Regente de la Academia Orquestal
Gabriela Olcese

so technically the person would be something like Head of Vocal Coaching, but in your context I would suggest : "the voice coach takes Beatriz by the arm and..."


wikipedia:
A vocal coach is a music teacher who instructs singers on how to improve their singing technique, takes care of and develops their voice, and prepares for the performance of a song or other work. Vocal coaches may give private music lessons or group workshops or masterclasses to singers. They may also coach singers who are rehearsing on stage, or who are singing during a recording session.
