Below this page we are attempting to list productions by Operatic Societies of shows that have either never gained a secure footing on the amateur circuit, or were once popular but in recent years have fallen out of favour.  To this catagory belong shows written by W S Gilbert in partnership with various composers, by Arthur Sullivan in partnership with various librettists, works presented at the Savoy Theatre between 1890 and 1910, and works from various other late Victorian and Edwardian collaborations. 

 

 

If your society, or any other society that you know of, has produced any of the works listed on the white buttons in the left-hand column, then we should be very interested to hear from you.  All we need is the name of the company, the show title and the year of production.  To advise us of a production, please click here

This is a lengthy, on-going project which has so far included a trawl of the 'Past Productions' lists of approximately 50% of operatic societies in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland.  Many other societies either do not have websites or have abandoned their websites and migrated to 'Facebook' or 'Bebo'.  Those societies we have been able to discover are listed under 'Performing Societies' (see the link towards the bottom of the left-hand column).  Research is not limited to the United Kingdom and Ireland, we are interested in productions of these works worldwide.
