The QM/BL Savoy Opera Society is a society based around appreciating and performing Savoy comedy operettas written and composed by the Victorian duo, ‘Gilbert and Sullivan’. Our goal is to bring together fans of their operettas, opera or musical theatre in general, or simply people who want to improve their singing/musical skills in a fun way!
Last year, we put on our first show – 'Trial By Jury'. Thank you so much to everyone who helped make it such a success. We hope to see you this year!

Some beloved G&S characters you might see in our shows!
