Putting on an Opera of any size is a huge undertaking. There are many benefits of getting involved from making new friends and helping the local community, to helping out with your specialist skills from woodwork to make-up specialists.

From all the actors & actresses, singers, musicians and dancers on stage there is a support team of many who help out in varied capacities. We need support for selling programmes and tickets to helping with props and lighting.

If you would like to discuss being involved, please get in touch.  There's so much to do that doesn't involve performing, we'll easily find you a job.  We're a very friendly company and your help will be so appreciated.
