Jurisdiction
According to its website (www.musicalartists.org) it is the “labor organization that represents the men and women who create America’s operatic, choral and dance heritage." AGMA claims exclusive jurisdiction over all aspects of the work of its members and shares some Broadway jurisdiction with its sister union, Actors’ Equity Association. Any artist who performs at principal American opera or dance companies work under AGMA contracts.
