About the role:

We’re recruiting new Trustees to join our Board and help guide the future of opera provision in England. Your input and voice matters, and you do not need to have previously served on a Board or as a Trustee.

We would particularly welcome to hear from people based in Sheffield or further afield in the North of England, as well as applicants from backgrounds underrepresented at board level in the opera sector, including individuals from the global majority, those who identify as disabled or neurodivergent, people from lower socio-economic backgrounds, and those under 35.

Regardless of age or experience we would love to hear from you. All we ask is that you are passionate about our mission and the value of performing arts and culture for people of all ages and backgrounds.
