Havant Light Opera meets every Monday at Havant Arts Centre at 7:30pm. We undertake two performances per year one in June/July and one in December. The summer production is usually a Gilbert & Sullivan operetta and next year’s production is HMS Pinafore. We also sing a wide selection of light music for various charities in churches, halls and residential homes. We would very much welcome new members, if you are interested in joining us please come along on a Monday evening or talk to one of the society members.

Our next production is on Thurs 30th Nov to Sat 2nd  December and will consist of Music with a seasonal flavour.

We hope you have enjoyed Yeomen of the Guard and that we will see you again at future events.
