WORK EXPERIENCE

Thinking of a career in the arts?

Each year a limited number of work experience placements are available at The Opera Centre in Sydney and The Opera Centre in Melbourne.

Due to the large number of applications received, we are not able to accept all students who apply.

The aim of work experience at Opera Australia is to give students an overall feel for how an opera company is run and to give students an opportunity to appreciate the work that is involved behind the scenes.
