… and we are sorry that you can no longer see our production of Iolanthe, which received a lively and positive response from our Dunfermline audiences. As one audience member emailed: “I thoroughly enjoyed the show on Wednesday night. I’m not just saying that, I mean it. I would have loved to be able to see it again. The fairies opening number was hilarious, and the men were very impressive on their grand entrance.” |
Keep an eye on this page: we hope over the following weeks to provide some pictures of what was a really first‑class show, with our usual high quality of production and music. You can read what two members of our audience thought on this review page, and download the programme by clicking the poster image above.
Our 2011 show
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 for future shows.

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 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.
