The Havant Light Opera Homepage

Havant Light Opera was formed to perform the works of Gilbert and Sullivan. We also perform light opera by other composers, and choral music in general. We perform two shows a year, a main show in June, and something with a Christmas flavour in December.

The Sorcerer

Havant Arts Centre

Tue 1st – Sat 5th July,  7.30 pm

First performed in 1877, The Sorcerer was the first full-length opera by Gilbert & Sullivan, crammed with delightful songs, witty dialogue and archetypal satire. At the behest of a well-meaning but thoroughly misguided patrician, a mysterious "dealer in magic and spells"  administers a love-potion to an entire village.  The consequences are inevitable and hilarious as the inhabitants of the village form passionate, and entirely unsuitable, attachments to each other.
£8
Tickets from HLO: 023 9248 4919

Havant Light Opera was founded in 1980 and currently flourishes with a membership of around 40.  We undertake two performances per year, one in June/July and one in December in the Havant Arts Centre.   The summer production is usually a Gilbert & Sullivan operetta and the December production is a concert or show with a seasonal flavour.

And if you are interested in Folk music and Folk Rock

 

The Folk Corporation on the net: it's about folk music but quite a bit more than that, you know. TFC hosts the web sites for Fairport Convention, the Cropredy Festival, Ralph McTell, David Hughes, Dave Mattacks, Jacqui McShee and annA rydeR. It also hosts one of the most active bulletin boards in the history of social cohesion where a friendly population the size of a small connurbation discuss everything from music and artistes to football and sheds. But it does more than that as well! For instance, if you are searching, in a web-focused way, for the domain name that says everything about you, you'll probably get that from The Folk Corporation too! You see! They are there to help, in many many many ways.
So, all in all, the Folk Corporation: a good day out. "The surf stops here."
