Work Experience
Providing an industry-based experience
Applications for Victorian Opera’s 2024 Work Experience Program will open Monday 12 February (Week 3, Term 1).
Our Work Experience Program gives Year 10 students the chance to work with other like minded students whilst being mentored by leading professionals in the performing arts industry. At the conclusion of the week, students present their own production plan to the Company Executive, covering design, direction, company management and budget.
The 2024 Work Experience Program will run from Monday 22 July to Friday 26 July (Week 2, Term 3), coinciding with the last week of studio rehearsals of our Grand Lyric Opera, La Rondine by Puccini.
