Experience an orchestra tech rehearsal for free.

College students and professors: experience an orchestra technical rehearsal for free.

For every opera, the orchestra technical rehearsal (or "orchestra tech") is the magical moment when all the elements come together for the very first time. The singers take the stage in full costume, the orchestra is in the pit ready to play and the technicians are primed backstage. The opera is ready to begin, and you can be a part of the magic. This FREE experience is open to undergraduate and graduate students of all disciplines — after all, opera involves more than just music!

THINGS TO KNOW

  • Admission is free.
  • Open to undergraduate and graduate students of all disciplines.
  • Students may only attend as part of a professor-led group.
  • Applications are accepted on a rolling basis.
