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!

The 27th International Gilbert and Sullivan Festival was cancelled due to the global outbreak of COVID-19. Without the funding from last year's ticket sales the Festival will have to shut its doors for good. Donate to the International G&S Festival here!

This summer, we produced an online Double Feature of ‘Cox and Box’ and ‘The Carp’, two lighthearted, single-act comedies featuring New Love, Long-Lost Family and A Fish! Click here to listen to the show.

This Spring, we will be performing our first in-person show since Spring 2019! Join us in The Annex from the 16th - 19th of March for our joint production with Showstoppers of Rogers and Hammerstein's Carousel! Click here for more info.
