Welcome to LOpSoc, the award-winning University of Southampton Light Opera Society. We are a friendly group with a strong, enthusiastic community of present and past members. We put on at least two shows and one tour each academic year, being regular participants in the International G&S UniFestival. We also have regular socials, workshops for members and recitals within the society. Our chorus is not auditioned, everyone is welcome to join our productions regardless of previous experience. Our members also have the opportunity to audition for lead roles, be part of production teams, join our orchestra and much more!

Our new show Cinderella will be performed on the 18th to the 21st of February, and we hope to see you all there!

In Spring 2022, we performed our first in-person show since Spring 2019! We performed Rodger and Hammerstein's Carousel with the the University's Musical Theatre society Showstoppers
