Something was keeping people away... something pretty big. And that something was Phinneas T. Lightspeed and his speedy Meatballs-o-Matic machine. In despair, Chef Pisghetti vows to cook no more.

Ushers Needed!
Rochester Opera House is seeking volunteers to serve as ushers for our 2022-23 season. Each year there are over 130 events on average, happening every day of the week, with show times ranging from morning school performances to late into the evening. Ushers not only help patrons find their seat, sell concessions, and serve as greeters for community events, but also serve as ambassadors of our theater. Basic training is offered individually before a new usher starts, and is also offered as a general refresher each fall. Ushers also have the opportunity to see shows at our venue for free!
For more information, please call the box office at 603.335.1992 during business hours, or email boxoffice@rochesteroperahouse.org. We look forward to having you as part of our ROH crew!
