For those searching for exciting ways to get involved in the Opera, look no further. Volunteering as a member of the Opera Guild will offer you new ways to utilize your talents, provide opportunities to learn new skills, and make new friends who share your interests.

"An opera company is like a three-legged stool. It rests upon three important foundations: its staff, its board of trustees and its volunteers. Without any of the three it would fall down. Each is necessary to make it stand."

                                  -- Glynn Ross, General Director, Arizona Opera
