We are a small society and meet monthly for the enjoyment of Gilbert and Sullivan Operas.

Each year in May / June we perform a concert version of one of the Operas, complete with libretto, at Leyburn (early May) and Bedale  (early June).  Our proceeds go to charities.

The opera we have chosen for 2008/9 is 'Iolanthe', the unlikely tale of Peers and Fairies.  Our first rehearsal is on Saturday 7th September 2008 at 2.30pm in the Methodist Church Hall, Leyburn.  Thereafter we meet approximately four-weekly , always at 2.30pm on Saturday afternoons.  We aim to achieve a high standard, but at the same time thoroughly enjoy ourselves.

We have, as always, a shortage of menfolk, of either voice, but particularly tenors.  For 'Iolanthe' the menfolk are particularly important!

So, if you like singing, we will make you especially welcome.
