Just a fortnight to go …

Dunfermline Gilbert & Sullivan Society: Iolanthe 2012

… before we hit the Carnegie stage. If you haven’t yet placed your ticket order, time is getting very short if you want to make sure that you get the seats you want, especially for popular performances such as the Saturday matinée.

So why not order your tickets today? Click the image to visit our Next Show page for details of how to order by phone or by email.

If you already have tickets, please pass on the invitation – just download the flier at this link, and forward it to your friends. They’ll be amazed at how up‑to‑date the satire in Iolanthe is, with its Liberal-Conservative fairy member! It promises to be a first‑class show, full of well-choreographed fairies, and with a splendid array of “dignified and stately” peers, plus our usual high quality of production and music.

To look out for …

We hope you support your local library! Well, they certainly support us, because every year Dunfermline Carnegie Library kindly allow us to use one of the exhibition tables in their Abbot Street foyer. Thanks to Geoff Strong, who once again has raided his trophy chest for the purpose. Why not go and have a look, both at Geoff’s handiwork and at their huge range of books and services.

Our 2011 show

Final flourish at the technical rehearsal

If you missed our anniversary production, we’re really sorry for you, because it was a wonderful show! Here are some of the comments we received by email: “… the production was marvellous. We thoroughly enjoyed it – excellent casting, great voices, beautiful costumes, etc. – and certainly good fun.”; “… last night certainly cheered me up no end. You must have a very good producer with lots of bright ideas about making a lively, amusing and interesting production”; “I thought the Mikado was great; the best yet”; “It was a pleasure to watch you all – chorus and soloists. Will be back next year”.

All you can do now is to click on the “Up Titipu!” photograph to download a copy of the programme, and make a note to book now for the 2012 production.

WELCOME TO OUR WEB SITE

The Dunfermline Gilbert and Sullivan Society is an amateur group aiming to foster and maintain a knowledge and appreciation of the works of W S Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan by the regular, public performance of their works (read more of our history here).

The Society is a registered charity: Scottish Charity Number SC030518.

Our main annual show is performed in the Carnegie Hall each February and is usually one of the Gilbert & Sullivan operettas. We also produce a Summer Concert held in late June each year.

NEW MEMBERS

We are always pleased to welcome potential new members to the weekly chorus rehearsals, but it’s best to join near the start of each show’s preparation. Much more information on our New Members page.

And there is always the opportunity to become one of our Society “Friends” – they get a really good deal, as you will see from this form, which doubles as an application form.

KEEPING IN TOUCH 

It’s always difficult to see at a glance when your favourite Society is performing, but Concert Diary have all our promotions on their web site, which is a useful place to look for other quality entertainment.
