Welsh National Opera exists to bring the power, drama and raw emotion of opera to as wide an audience as possible in performances marked by an uncompromising quest for artistic quality. As a national company with international status, we sit at the heart of music-making in Wales and play a valuable role in the communities we serve in England.

Welsh National Opera is based at Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff Bay. Cardiff combines ancient history, sporting excitement, ultra-modern development, eclectic culture and activities. It is a friendly, diverse and exciting capital city, just two hours by train from London.


If you would like to join the team, all vacancies, including Orchestra positions, will be advertised here. We welcome applications in Welsh. If you wish to apply in Welsh, it will treated no less favourably than if you apply in English. Late applications will not be accepted.
