Availability of assignments in specific areas is dependent upon workload needs during the time period of the desired internship. Internships are paid and include a nominal travel stipend. Other benefits include mentoring, professional development, complimentary tickets or ability to attend dress rehearsals during the operatic season, backstage tours, available course credit, and "brown bag" lunch hour presentations.
