Founded in 1937 as The Holy Trinity Operatic and Dramatic Society, the group reformed in 1947 as the Hereford Gilbert and Sullivan Operatic Society, rehearsing at the Garrison Theatre, Bradbury Lines under the baton of Arthur Cole, then Director of Music to the Cheltenham Corporation.

The Society has since performed all the well-known Gilbert and Sullivan operettas and other productions have included "The Arcadians", "Bless the Bride", "Brigadoon", "The Gypsy Baron" and "La Belle Helene".

From 1949 to 1962 the Society's shows were staged at The Kemble Theatre, Broad Street and after its demolition, at the Regal theatre (now a bingo hall), the Garrison theatre and Belmont Abbey school. In 1979 the Society staged its first production at The Nell Gwynne Theatre, later renamed The New Hereford Theatre and later still redeveloped as The Courtyard.

The programme will include favourite Gilbert and Sullivan solos and choruses, together with highlights from more modern Broadway musicals.
