Professional environment with protections for workplace discrimination and harassment
Passionate people on the music side with much to share and give to the other musicians
Getting to enjoy performing and the craft of opera to share with the audiences
Cons
Lack of communication from top level to others amongst the company.
Can feel like you don't matter at times
Low pay in comparison to other cities with much lower cost of living.
Late night rehearsals so hard to pair with a morning day job (this is standard in the industry though)
It's only part time.
