Welcome

Great Witley Operatic Society is an amateur society which has its origins in the Worcestershire village of Great Witley, but now attracts members from a wide area including Worcester, Droitwich and Malvern.

Staged Production for 2012

Join GWOS for a splendid swashbuckling evening. This well-known show is packed with memorable songs: I am the very model of a modern Major-General, A Policeman’s Lot Is Not Happy One, I am a Pirate King, the beautiful waltz Poor Wand’ring One, the gloriously melodic Hail poetry! and many more tunes. Gilbert and Sullivan poke fun at many English types and institutions. Their affectionate fun is as topical today as when it first delighted audiences over a hundred years ago.

We welcome back as conductor the eminent Worcester musician Donald Hunt. In charge of Production is Roberta Morrell, a former soloist with the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company, who now directs amateur and professional companies worldwide.

To members: Rehearsals commence Monday 10th October, Principal Auditions are on Sunday 6th November. NOTE - New Rehearsal Venue and time: St Marks Church Hall, Cherry Orchard, Bath Road, Worcester, WR5 3DW. Mondays 7:45.
