How many members in an opera company?

An opera company can vary in size, depending on the scale and budget of the organisation. An average-sized opera company may consist of around 200-250 permanent employees, including artistic staff, musicians, singers, dancers, stage crew, administration, and technical personnel. However, larger opera companies, such as the Metropolitan Opera in New York City, can have over 1,000 employees. The exact number of members can also vary depending on the specific production, as additional temporary personnel may be hired for larger or more complex productions.
