About the Dunster House Opera Board

The DHO Board of Operators was founded after the first production of the Dunster House Opera, in 1992. The purpose of the board is to provide continuity for the opera from year to year, and to assist the Senior Staff by providing opera production experience. Some board members came to the production with absolutely no operatic knowledge, while others have been opera fans for years. Each board member has unique skills, and may be called upon by the Senior Staff to provide knowledge in diverse areas from choreography to light design to singing technique.

New board members are selected each March after the close of the February production. Most applicants have contributed in some way to a current or past DHO production.
