Godalming Operatic Society is widely regarded as one of the country's leading Gilbert and Sullivan Societies and has been since its formation in 1925. Over the years we have entertained audiences with all the major Gilbert and Sullivan operas including some of the more rarely performed ones such as ‘The Grand Duke’ and ‘Utopia Ltd.’
Currently we perform a G&S opera every February this year’s (2008) being ‘Ruddigore’, with rehearsals which started in October. Then, in June or July we put on something different, usually at the Electric Theatre in Guildford. Our previous summer productions range from a concert version of ‘Aida’ to Joan Littlewood's Musical Entertainment, ‘Oh What a Lovely War.’ In 2005 the Society performed ‘’Iolanthe’’ at the International Gilbert and Sullivan Festival at Buxton and in 2007 performed ‘’Utopia Limited’’ at The Waterford International Festival of Light Opera in Ireland.
We also have a very active social side to the group. We hold a wide range of social events and regularly organise trips to see other shows.
