Explore Volunteer Opportunities

No matter what your interest, the Houston Grand Opera Guild provides members numerous choices for involvement. Volunteers are needed throughout the Guild’s programs to support the objectives of the Guild in providing educational programs for children and adults and assisting in the development of the young artists in the Houston Opera Studio. Other volunteer activities include:

  • Hosting visiting artists
  • Working in the boutique
  • Ushering at HGO educational productions
  • Supporting special events
  • Providing business and clerical services
  • Supporting the Artist in Residence program

With each activity, you not only help our world-class opera company, you learn about more opera, meet people who create the marvelous productions, and realize personal fulfillment. Opportunities range from one-time commitments, to a few hours a week over a few months, to longer commitments of a few hours a week for a year or more in some cases.

As a volunteer, you will help spread the word about opera and educate people about this wonderful art form. You can also learn about what goes into producing an opera and running a world-class opera company.

HGO Guild volunteers assist and support the young artists of HGO Studio through three separate programs:
Artist in Residence
The Artist In Residence program gives the public a personal experience with opera by putting on free informational performances (informances). Each informance features an HGO Studio singer and an accompanist performing classical selections, talking about their backgrounds and HGO Studio, and answering questions from the audience. An HGO Guild volunteer introduces the HGO Studio performers, explains who HGO Guild is, and talks a little about what we do. Would you like to help bring opera to the community and support HGO Studio artists by volunteering to attend an informance as an HGO Guild representative? Your time commitment can be as little as a few hours on one afternoon. Learn More
Young Artists’ Vocal Academy
HGO established the Young Artists' Vocal Academy (YAVA) in 2011 to work specifically with singers at the undergraduate level. The week-long course is held on-site at HGO, with singers lodging nearby at The Lancaster Hotel. Two YAVA courses are scheduled back-to-back for May 13-20 and May 20-27, 2018. HGO Guild volunteers provide airport transportation for the singers and introduce them to Texas hospitality by hosting informal events during their stay. Would you like to meet young artists just beginning their lives as singers? Your time commitment may include a trip or two to the airport and a few hours to bring a dish to an informal dinner – all during a week or two in late May.
Studio Buddies HGO Studio provides comprehensive career development to young artists who have demonstrated potential to make major contributions to the field of opera. Each artist receives customized training from an expert team while gaining invaluable performance experience in main-stage productions and at other less traditional venues. HGO Guild members who volunteer with Studio Buddies are paired with a performer in HGO Studio and commit to ‘be there’ during the artist’s entire residency of up to three years. Learn More

Education docents introduce opera to school students in the Houston area. Forty-five minute presentations have been developed for fifteen operas and include video clips of an opera and a prepared script. Docents select the operas that most interest them and prepare their presentations. Docents are usually required to make appointments with teachers prior to the presentations. At least once a year, the Houston Grand Opera schedules a High School Night and two Student Matinees for one of the operas of the HGO season. By providing presentations for classes attending this opera, docents help students develop a background for the performance and increase their attention to and enjoyment of the opera. If you enjoy teaching others, especially young people, about opera, join the docent force. Through this program, we are planting the seeds for future audiences. To learn more about volunteering, contact Isabel Trainer, Chair, at 713-628-2348 or email her at [email protected].

Programs can include home publicity/informational events with HGO guest speakers and group outings with HGO VIP treatment. These informational events encourage potential audience and supporters from outside the immediate downtown/arts area to take the next step with HGO. These programs are scheduled three or four times a year at a time of day appropriate for the participants.
