"It truly takes a village to produce an operatic production. The singers, orchestra, stage directors, conductors, rehearsal pianists, set designers, costumers, lighting designers, prop masters, construction crews, dressers, makeup and hair artists, administrators, marketing teams, development teams, education and outreach teams all contribute to making the magic on stage happen. Yet, there are still areas that need our help. Fort Worth Opera’s Ambassador Program gives everyone in our community an opportunity to get involved behind the scenes. Volunteering time in areas such as hospitality for our guest artists, ushering performances, or hosting a group of friends to experience a night at the opera is all that’s needed." - Corey Trahan
