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!

We conducted weekly online rehearsals over the winter months to prepare a set of recordings released on our social media. We produced a brand new G&S medley as well as an excerpt from Orpheus in the Underworld

This summer, we’re working towards 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!
