Opera Grand Rapids is looking for volunteers to help in a number of capacities from greeting patrons to helping with administrative needs.
Ushers and greeters are needed for the company’s upcoming productions which are “Don Giovanni,” Oct. 22 and 24; “Stinney: An American Execution,” Feb. 25 and 27; and “Turandot,” April 22 and 23. Time commitment is usually two to four hours totals. Ushers and greeters are called one hour prior to the start of the show in order to check in with the Opera Grand Rapids staff representative, to ask questions and prepare for the performance. There are clothing requirements to serve as an usher.
Other volunteer positions include artist services helping to transport artists and provide host homes; load-in/load-out team for the sets; special events that have check-in tables, coat check and other needs; and administrative tasks such as mailings, data entry, filing, and courtesy calling. Volunteers do earn two free complimentary tickets to productions that they assist with.
