Opera RESPECTS Training Awards
The Opera RESPECTS Training Awards support customized anti-harassment and civil workplace training for Professional Company Members.
Opera RESPECTS is a national anti-harassment and respectful workplace initiative for opera companies and individuals working in the industry.
The Opera Respects Training Awards provide customized training led by Chai Feldblum, a longtime civil rights advocate and employment expert. Each award includes two separate 3-hour sessions for non-supervisors and supervisors as well as an additional 1.5-hour session for supervisors.
Opera RESPECTS Training Awards are made possible by a generous gift from C. Graham Berwind, III, and additional appreciated support from the American Guild of Musical Artists.
