By taking music classes (pre-theory, theory etc) can it help improve a Stage Manager and Soundboard operator?
How much training would be recommended and where would the best place to get it from?
If you are designing lights, running sound or stage managing for an opera or opera-like musical (think Les Miserables, where there is virtually no unsung dialog), at least knowing how to read music will be extremely helpful. This will allow you to write your cues in to the score (piano vocals) instead of written text. Many cues in these types of shows occur on a musical 'chord', thus would be hard to take as a sight or line cue.
