Supernumeraries, or “supers,” function like extras in movies – they are non-singing, non-speaking parts that help bring the opera to life. Every season, we cast supernumeraries, and each production offers unique opportunities to participate. As a Super, you will share the stage with internationally renowned artists and work with celebrated directors and conductors.
If you can only help out occasionally we have several ways for you to help. You can assist our staff in taking the elderly on social outings, celebrate birthday parties, assist with art programs, and assist with transportation, clean-up, and set-up for taking the elderly to visit nearby nursing homes.
