Application for work experience 2018

A work experience placement at Glyndebourne offers local young people (age 16+ and still at school or college) the invaluable opportunity to see an internationally renowned opera company at work.

If you are successful in your application you will be based in the Education Department. A timetable of the week will be drawn up in advance to fit in around your interests and available opportunities here at Glyndebourne. Over the course of five days you will have the opportunity to experience and work in a variety of different departments, learn about the many and varied jobs people do and (when possible) watch a rehearsal or performance.

These week-long work experience placements will be unpaid. Working hours are Monday–Friday, 10.00am to 5.00pm, with one hour for lunch. Students will be responsible for their own travel and personal expenses; however, Glyndebourne runs a free minibus service to/from Lewes station.

Spaces are limited and applicants may be asked to visit Glyndebourne for an interview in the Education Department.

Application deadlines:

Placements from February to April – application deadline 19 January 2018

Placements from May – October – application deadline 16 April 2018
