Volunteer with Opera Memphis

Join the team that brings opera to life across the Mid-South

A Community of Creativity, Purpose, and Fun

At Opera Memphis, volunteers are more than just helpers—they’re the heartbeat of what we do. Whether it’s guiding patrons to their seats, supporting pop-up performances during 30 Days of Opera, or lending a hand behind the scenes, our volunteers keep the music moving.

We’re proud of our strong, inclusive volunteer program and strive to make every volunteer experience fun, meaningful, and appreciated. Volunteers earn perks like tickets to events and are invited to exclusive social events throughout the year. No matter your skills or experience, we can find the perfect fit for you—and we promise you’ll have a great time doing it.
