State Opera

Opera takes hundreds of people to put on a stage, and only some of them sing. State Opera South Australia offers a week of hands-on work experience for secondary and tertiary students, alongside the people who make a season happen.

You will spend the week with our team, seeing how a production comes together from the inside.

What you'll do

Work experience is built around the parts of the company you want to learn. Across the week you might work across:

  • Arts administration
  • Arts education
  • Marketing
  • Production
  • Wardrobe
  • Stage management

We tailor each placement to the student. Tell us where your interest lies, and we will build the week around it.

Who it's for

  • Secondary students completing school work experience.
  • Tertiary students undertaking a placement as part of their studies.

No performance experience is needed. What matters is curiosity about how the arts work, on and off the stage.

Questions about work experience or internships? We are happy to help.
