Supernumeraries (or "supers") are non-singing roles in our opera productions. These individuals are generally "character" parts, playing a specific role within the onstage community of the opera. Supers can be volunteers of any age, and depending on the opera can even include children.

Supers are required to attend evening and some daytime rehearsals beginning three weeks before the opening night of each production. Being a Super is a great way to learn behind-the-scenes insight into creating opera.
