Volunteers

Because opera includes all the arts, it provides rich opportunities to experience and observe artists of all kinds. Volunteers who give their time and expertise at Pittsburgh Opera learn, while "working in the wings", the amazing amount of effort and skill it takes to produce opera.

 Opportunities are available in Clerical, Costume shop, Education, Library, Marketing, Music, Production, and Reception. We celebrate our Volunteer Stars with a special dinner each year! See the photos below from the 2010 Volunteer Stars Dinner.

 

For more information, please contact Marilyn Michalka Egan, Ph.D. at 412-281-0912 x 242.

Our volunteers bring a wide variety of ages and abilities to  the Pittsburgh Opera volunteer program, including High School Apprentices and summer interns (below, with General Director Christopher Hahn and Director of Education Marilyn Egan).
