Shows

 

Our main event of the year is the performance of a Gilbert and Sullivan opera in late March / April. In 2009 this will be The Yeomen of the Guard – see Forthcoming Events. We perform in the hall of Castle Donington Community College, which provides us with a well equipped stage and plenty of room for our orchestra and a large audience.

Joining Us

 

We are always on the look-out for new singing members. Whilst previous experience is desirable, it is not essential. Shows cannot be put on without an enormous amount of help, front of house and backstage, from non-singing supporters. If you are interested in either of these roles, please see Joining the Society. We pride ourselves on being a very friendly society and you may be assured of a warm welcome.

Supporting Us

 

If you would like  to support the Society without becoming a singing member, why not become a Patron, or if you have a business perhaps you would like to advertise in our show programme.

Concerts

 

We also stage concert work, performing our own concerts in the Bill Shone Leisure Centre at Melbourne in June / July and at Christmas. We can also provide concerts for other organisations in the area. If you would like more information ring Keith Reaveley, on (01332) 810125 or email Keith Reaveley. Concerts usually include some Gilbert and Sullivan, frequently as a taster for our next show, but the material covers a wide range, including popular songs and musicals of the last 50 years.
