Current Production - Sidney Jones' "The Geisha"
"The Geisha" by Sidney Jones
Long overdue for a revival this sparkling example of an Edwardian musical is
full of memorable light tunes set in a tea house in Japan. Building upon the
success of Gilbert and Sullivan's "Mikado", this musical satisfied the
continuing fascination of Edwardian England with all things Japanese. If you
like the works of Gilbert and Sullivan - you will adore this "lost" musical.

Spotlight
Spotlight is the name for Southgate Opera's newsletter/magazine that is
produced twice per year. In it you will find lots of insider information about
the company, reviews of shows and backstage gossip. It is distributed to members
of the company - past and present, as well as to friends and anyone else
interested in reading more about Southgate Opera. Up to August 2008 it was only
distributed in printed format, but we have now made it available online. The
most recent copy of Spotlight can always be found by following the navigation
buttons at the top of this page to About | Spotlight. Alternatively, you

Paul Potts
Paul appeared with Southgate Opera in our May 2003 production of Manon
Lescaut. We are delighted that he has now found success and wish him all the
very best.
Donations
The average cost of putting on a show is around £12,000 mainly because of
hiring an orchestra, sets, costumes, wigs and so on. We try to break even on our
shows without making the ticket prices too expensive. If you would like to make
a donation to help us please use the button below. Any contributions would be
gratefully accepted.
