The Society’s annual show alternates between Gilbert & Sullivan and other composers’ operettas firmly retaining the emphasis on quality of music, four-part harmony and high chorus content. The Gipsy Baron, La Belle Helene, Die Fledermaus, Orpheus in the Underworld, The Merry Widow and White Horse Inn have all proved great successes and provided audiences with a greater variety of musical style and performance. The Society aims to produce performances of the highest quality and all shows are accompanied by a professional orchestra.
The society’s Autumn Concerts aim to strike the right note for everyone with a variety of Songs from the Shows, Broadway, Popular and Classical Music.
