The Opéra national du Rhin, an inter-municipal association, is characterised by a dynamic management, shared between three cities, each with its own artistic creation: the Opéra in Strasbourg, the Ballet in Mulhouse and the Opéra Studio in Colmar, a training cell for young artists.

Behind each production are talented and passionate teams working in a wide variety of trades: stage machinery, wig and make-up, stage management, carpentry, sewing, props, IT, welcoming the public...

The set and costume workshops are veritable design studios, where the imagination takes shape to dress and decorate the stages with meticulous precision. The stagehands, electricians and locksmiths are responsible for the technical set-up of the performances. The communications and cultural outreach teams create links between the Opera and its audiences, making culture accessible to all.

Each of these professions, whether backstage or on the front line, contributes to making the Opéra national du Rhin a place where art and know-how meet to offer unforgettable experiences.

Can I apply for several vacancies at the same time?

Yes, you can apply for several vacancies at the same time. However, it is important to be clear and coherent in your covering letter so that each application is well-founded.

I have a disability. What should I include in my application / How can I apply for a job?
