    How to Get Hired at Metopera

    • The Met is the largest and most prestigious classical music organization in North America, and it is also a financially stressed institution with a roughly 40 million dollar deficit, an aging audience, and lingering labor wounds from the 2020-2021 season cancellation and unpaid furloughs.
    • Workforce categories matter: administrative and management roles run through Lever at jobs.lever.co/metopera, while union performer and stagehand positions follow audition and referral processes that bypass the ATS entirely.
