"From our very first conversations with the Theatre, it was clear to me that the organisation of work at an opera house, where hundreds of artists, musicians, and specialists operate to a rhythm of irregular hours, seasonality, and international teams, is an area in which our experience can bring real value, and I am delighted that those conversations have now grown into a partnership," said Anna Hałas-Krawczyk, Partner and Head of the Employment Practice at Greenberg Traurig in Poland
