Southampton Operatic Society (Est. 1924)

established in 1924, we are southampton's longest surviving amateur performing society. we operate as a registered charity (no.257305) and one of our main charitable purposes is to promote and perform works of educative value to the people of southampton and its environs. we are an award-winning group who perform a wide variety of stage shows from grand opera and gilbert & sullivan to modern musicals and musical plays. we perform the majority of our shows at nst campus, formerly known as the nuffield theatre, southampton, within the grounds of southampton university. we also have a large junior section (debut youth theatre) and a concert group available to book for events and functions. we support a number of local and national charities. acting membership is open to anyone who passes an audition but we also welcome non-acting members.
