L'Opéra municipale de Marseille soutient la revendication des artistes et intremittents du spectacle.

La saison de l'Opéra de Marseille ne pourrait exister sans la présence des intermittents du spectacle.

Les intermittents du spectacle sont les solistes vocaux ou instrumentistes, les chefs d'orchestre, les décorateurs et costumiers, les metteurs en scène, les éclairagistes, les choristes et musiciens supplémentaires, des techniciens machinistes, électriciens, cintriers....

Sans l'ensemble de ces talents, les spectacles auxquels vous, public, vous assistez ne pourraient avoir lieu. C'est pour cette raison que l'Opéra Municipal de Marseille aspire et souhaite qu'une réforme équitable du statut de l'intermittence pourra aboutir dans la concertation, le dialogue avec les différents collectifs d'intermittents.
