Job description

REPORTS TO:             Director of Company Management
STATUS:                      Part-time; Non-Exempt; Seasonal          
Lyric Opera of Chicago is where the world sings — and where Chicago comes alive.
Under the leadership of General Director, President & CEO John Mangum and Music Director Enrique Mazzola, Lyric stands at the intersection of artistic excellence and civic purpose, harnessing the full power of opera — voice, orchestra, stagecraft, and story — to illuminate the questions, emotions, and experiences that define us as human beings.
Nearly 75 seasons of world-class performances have made Lyric one of the greatest opera companies in the world. What drives us now is what has always driven us: the belief that this art form, at its best, can move people in ways nothing else can. Lyric is also Chicago’s partner — in its neighborhoods, its schools, and its communities — through education, engagement, and a relentless commitment to making opera accessible, relevant, and irresistible to everyone. At the heart of that commitment is The Patrick G. and Shirley W. Ryan Opera Center, which trains the artists who will carry this art form into its future. Every night when the curtain rises, Lyric reminds this city — and the world — why live performance still matters.
Lyric Opera of Chicago doesn’t just present opera, it redefines what opera can be. It’s where Chicago comes to be moved — come inside.
Lyric’s Company Management department provides general operational and logistical support for all Lyric stage productions. The department also serves as the primary point of contact for all artists leading up to and during their time at Lyric. The Company Management Assistant provides general administrative and clerical support for all backstage and departmental activities during Lyric’s seasonal rehearsal and performance periods.
DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
  • Demonstrate leadership in accordance with Lyric’s mission and vision.
  • Collaborate with the Director, Company Management, Manager, Company Management, and other Company Management Assistants to ensure proper departmental staffing and administrative/clerical support of all backstage activities both at the Lyric Opera House and at off-site venues.
  • Assist with implementation of daily department activities such as posting/disseminating daily schedules, backstage administrative support, and facilitating department communications.
  • Provide unique artists’ services including but not limited to processing ticket orders, booking doctor’s appointments, filling out and filing accident reports, and facilitating backstage guest requests.
  • Post chorus sign-in sheets, follow-up with tardy or absent artists, and communicate all information to select Lyric staff.
  • Provide general office support for department such as answering phone calls and emails, requisitioning supplies, etc.
  • Support visa application processes for international artists.
  • As the business evolves, so may this role. These duties may change as Lyric’s leadership identifies the need at any time.

KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS:
  • One (1) year of administrative experience required
  • One (1) of customer service experience required.
  • Awareness of situations requiring integrity and discretion.
  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills.
  • Ability to maintain a positive and professional attitude, efficiently responding to requests from artists and administrators on any given day.
  • Ability to work independently and as a member of a team in a collaborative and fast-paced environment.
  • Interest in and knowledge of opera and other classical music genres.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite preferred.
  • Familiarity with company management software is a plus.

WORK CONDITIONS:
  • Ability to work flexible hours including nights and weekends at the Lyric Opera House and off-site venues.
  • Ability to sit and stand for extended periods of time.
  • Ability to move quickly between multiple locations.
  • Ability to operate a telephone, computer and to handle other office equipment.
  • Ability to occasionally lift objects of 10+ lbs.

COMPENSATION:

Duration: 20 hours per week (September 14-November 29, 2026; February 15-June 20, 2027)
