Volunteers

Supernumeraries

Want to be a part of an opera production but singing isn't your thing? No problem. Supernumeraries (affectionately known as "supers") are non-singing roles that often have the important job of making certain scenes come to life.

If you are interested in wearing a cool costume and being a part of a festival production in a non-vocal way, please contact Michael Egel at 515-961-6221 or megel@dmmo.org.

Auxiliary Chorus  TOP

What better way to spend a few of your summer nights than singing at DMMO? Opera is a grand production and many grand operas require reinforcements for our regular chorus. Des Moines Metro Opera's regular chorus is usually comprised of 40 apprentice artist voices, but an auxillary chorus of about 25 more voices is often added to supplement the sound.

Male or Female singers ages 18-80 who are interested in Auxiliary Chorus opportunities should contact Michael Egel at 515-961-6221 or megel@dmmo.org.

Ushers  TOP

Volunteer ushers are used for all mainstage festival productions and certain special events. They act as greeters and guides for the patrons, as well as hand out programs and clean up the theatre seating area following performances. Please contact Chari Kruse at 515-961-6221 or dmmo@dmmo.org for more information.

Office Assistants  TOP

Occasionally there is a need for administration assistance in the DMMO office throughout the calendar year. This could be assisting with proofreading, mailings, stuffing envelopes, erasing and sorting music, or general clean-up/yard work. Please contact Chari Kruse at 515-961-6221 or dmmo@dmmo.org for more information.

Opportunities for Children  TOP

What better summer activity is there for your children than to be a part of the Des Moines Metro Opera Summer Festival? Nearly every season has need of children in either singing or non-singing capacities. Please contact Michael Egel at 515-961-6221 or megel@dmmo.org for more information.
