Audio Description volunteer Mary Ann Graziano describes the action for visually-disabled opera-goers.
Volunteering at Pittsburgh Opera
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 many areas of the company, including assisting at our Special Events. During an individual interview, we determine if a volunteer’s interests and skills match Pittsburgh Opera’s needs.
We celebrate our Volunteer Stars with a special dinner each year! Below, you can meet some of our volunteers and see a photo gallery of them in action.
Email Marilyn Michalka Egan, Ph.D., Director of Education, or call her at 412-281-0912 ext. 242 if you are interested in volunteering with Pittsburgh Opera!
