Supernumeraries are people of all ages who share the stage with operatic artists. Supers volunteer their time and act on the stage as non-speaking, unpaid "extras."
Supers can play soldiers, townspeople, nuns, Gypsies, as well as many other important stage-filling roles. A Super's enthusiasm and cooperation is an important part of the Company's great spirit.
Who It's For
Anyone interested in being on stage. Supers can be any age, shape or size. The roles are non-speaking and unpaid.
