The fundraising concert is fast approaching and we thought we would share some more knowledge about the wonderful Dore G&S Society.

Here is a lovely review regarding their past production Orpheus.

Reviews;
'The quality of singing from all the principals was excellent with good diction,'
​'with their excellent characterisation they all made a first class line-up. It was also great to hear four-part harmony from the ensemble'.

To see if Orpheues has made the cut in their fundraising concert, come along to the Merlin Theatre this Saturday night 15th Feb @7:30p.m or book tickets through the link. https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/a-night-with-gilbert-sullivan-tickets-88661730623
