BRAVO! Volunteer Corps

What can I do?

Volunteer assistance is utilized in virtually every department of the company, as indicated below. Some activities occur on a regular basis, and others, such as special events and conferences, vary from year to year. Volunteers may choose to help out with one project of committee or commit to a full season. Internships are also available. Some volunteers have special skills in one or two areas and others serve in a variety of capacities. Be sure to let us know what you enjoy doing most!

• Costumes: Assist with sewing and non-sewing costume projects in advance of scheduled productions.
• Production: Be a "stand-in" on stage during light cue sessions for each production.
• Education: Be a tour guide at the Opera Center in Minneapolis for adults and students alike, or act as a host for adult education classes.
• Administration: Use your office and computer skills to help the opera with mailing projects, switchboard operation, data entry, etc.
• Development: Be a host for special events, help with invitation mailings or make annual thank-you calls to the opera’s supporters.
• Marketing: Assist patrons at our Opera Patron Kiosk in the lobby of Ordway Center during each opera performance.
