Grosvenor Light Opera Company

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Grosvenor Light Opera Company (GLOC) is a nonprofit community theatre group in London, England, established in 1949 to study and perform the works of Gilbert and Sullivan. The company has been described by Ian Bradley as the "leading amateur G & S performing group in London".[1]

The group performs the Savoy operas in central London, and in 1964 it produced a musicalised version of W. S. Gilbert's play Engaged.[2] It has performed some of its productions at the International Gilbert and Sullivan Festival[3][4] and has toured a production of Cox and Box.[1][5]

Television

In 1998 members of the group appeared as the Gilbert and Sullivan Choir in an episode of Kavanagh Q.C.[6]

Critical reception

In a review in 2015, BroadwayWorld said a Grosvenor Light Opera Company production of Ruddigore was "splendid", commending its orchestra and its "mix of very experienced singers and students" who "carried off the gig with much aplomb".[7][better source needed]
