Volunteers needed for opera lecture series
ORGANIZATION: Opera NOVA
Please visit the new page to apply.
Opera NOVA is looking for volunteers to be part of a series of talks on opera to audiences of Community Seniors, Members of Opera NOVA, and Residents at Culpepper Gardens, a senior living center in Arlington. Be part of Opera NOVA’s quest to" democratize access" to opera,. to achieve universal access to America’s cultural arts.
Lecturers would create their own lecture or lectures on some aspect of opera---- Why it is so popular, Why it got so costly. What is their favorite opera. What is their favorite aria. Of course, these volunteer opportunities would be good for those who enjoy opera themselves and simply want to share it with others. Of course these opportunities are good for individuals who love opera and engage in the study of it as a hobby are especially welcome. If you are interested, please contact the Opera NOVA offices at (703) 536-7557 or mcdm1@verizon.net.

Mission Statement
Opera NOVA works to bring the joy of opera to the local community and develop regional support for the performing arts by fostering an appreciation for local theater across generations.
Description
Opera NOVA was founded in 1992 as a volunteer-based, non-profit charitable organization to bring the joy of opera to the local community and develop regional support for the performing arts by fostering an appreciation for local theater across generations.
The Guild is incorporated in the Commonwealth of Virginia and has been recognized by the IRS as a 501 (c) (3) entity.
Over the years, Opera NOVA has offered major financial support for an annual family opera that is attended by school children during week day performances and by children with their families and community-based organizations on weekends. Because of our efforts, 50,000 school-aged children, many of whom would not have the opportunity otherwise, have attended an opera. The performances not only offer children a unique opportunity to hear an opera sung in English, but they also learn about various opera and theatre techniques, from special effects to the intricacies of set and lighting design.
