Job Summary

We’re looking for friendly, organised and proactive ushers to help create a smooth and welcoming experience for audience members at our vibrant summer opera festival.

Job Description

For Summer 2025, we're turning The Vache estate into a vibrant, playful world of music, masks and mayhem with https://vachebaroque.com/circus-opera/ - Le Carnaval de Venise by Andre Campra (1699). Expect wild fusions of high-flying acrobatics, dazzling arias and unforgettable spectacle as we bring Le Carnaval de Venise roaring to life under our spectacular circus tent at The Vache. With a cast led by mezzo-soprano Katie Bray and soprano Julieth Lozano, and directed by James Hurley with circus and movement direction by Rebecca Solomon, this is Baroque opera like you've never seen it before. Audiences will move between indoor and outdoor spaces, with scenes popping up across the estate in true immersive-theatre style. We're also holding our very first https://vachebaroque.com/jazz2025/ - Jazz Evening.
