The ongoing partnership between The Metropolitan Opera and the Permanent Mission of Ukraine to the United Nations and the Ministry of Culture and Information Policy of Ukraine as well as the assistance and support of First Lady of Ukraine Olena Zelenska, will enable a unique opportunity to bring a group of 4 selected Ukrainian representatives of Ukrainian opera houses and independent organizations to travel to New York City for a period of 14 weeks to take part in the internship program and to work in different departments of the MetOpera with an aim to sharing experiences and getting acquainted with the principles and methods of work used in one of the largest theaters in the United States.

To support this joint mission, we are excited that The Ukrainian Habitat Fund (UHF) will partner in this strategic effort and sponsor accommodations by covering the housing expenses for the duration of their stay in NYC (March 6 – June 9, 2023).
