Through our support groups, Opera Columbus offers a variety of opportunities for individuals of all ages and backgrounds to get involved as volunteers:
Les Claqueurs of Opera Columbus
Les Claqueurs is a group of senior citizens that devotes many hours of volunteer work to Opera Columbus and its community programs. Activities include staging several social events, which promote camaraderie and develop financial resources, and providing administrative support and assistance with Opera Columbus events. Les Claqueurs meet before each production and on several other occasions throughout the year.
Impresarios of Opera Columbus
Impresarios – Opera Columbus’s largest support group - works to raise awareness of opera in Columbus and Central Ohio. The group sponsors and organizes fundraising parties and events for Opera Columbus, and organizes Opera Excursions to regional opera performances. Impresarios has quarterly meetings, usually in members’ homes, with a mix of live music, a short business meeting, and ample food and drink.
The Supers’ Guild of Opera Columbus
Hallmarks of The Supers’ Guild: are informality and a love for the stage. Members can often appear onstage in Opera Columbus productions in non-singing roles. We also frequently work backstage as dressers, make-up, wardrobe or prop assistants, and occasionally assist the production crew. The Supers meet quarterly. These meetings are open and typically hosted at a member’s residence. Excellent food and drink, plenty of time to socialize, a raffle of door prizes and discussions concerning recent and upcoming Opera Columbus productions are offered.
The Women’s Guild of Opera Columbus
The Women’s Guild is the oldest support group of Opera Columbus. Members support Opera Columbus by devoting their time as volunteers, and raise thousands of dollars for the company through an annual fundraising event. The Women’s Guild holds bi-monthly luncheon meetings from September to May at members’ homes, combining companionship, a brief business meeting, and an entertaining and informative program.
