The Bristol Gilbert & Sullivan Operatic Society invites you to the Grand Duchy of Pfennig-Halbpfennig in Spring 2025 for a journey through one of Gilbert & Sullivan’s most elusive operettas: The Grand Duke. Known as the pair’s final collaboration, The Grand Duke has seldom graced the stage, making it an extraordinary treat for G&S enthusiasts and newcomers alike.
Tickets are now on sale here.
Avast there, me hearties!
If you’ve not already had enough of our piratical shenanigans, or maybe you missed our show in March (where were you?), there will be one more chance to see our Pirates of Penzance – in concert form, at least.
On Saturday 28th September at 7:30pm, we will be performing the songs* from this highly enjoyable operetta as part of the Thornbury Arts Festival. Tickets are available from the festival website, here.
See you there, land-lubbers!
*Please note, this will be a traditional performance and not Dungeons and Dragons themed like our staged show in March.
Hello, everyone!
We know it’s been a while since our last post—sorry about that! After wrapping up our last show and taking a bit of a breather over the summer, we’re back and more excited than ever to kick off a brand new season with the Bristol Gilbert and Sullivan Society.
Mark your calendars because we’re starting with a bang on Tuesday, 3 September, with our Launch Night at our usual rehearsal venue. Whether you’re a seasoned member or thinking about joining us for the first time, we can’t wait to see you there!
This season promises to be something special as we prepare to bring you the The Grand Duke from 27-29 March 2025. It’s going to be a fantastic production, and we’d love for you to be a part of it—whether on stage, behind the scenes, or cheering us on from the audience.
Stay tuned for more details about our Launch Night and everything we have in store. We’re thrilled to get started and hope you are too!
See you soon!
The Bristol Gilbert and Sullivan Society
Launch night is less than two weeks away, and we can’t wait to reveal our new production team and their vision for The Pirates of Penzance.
Principal auditions will be held on Tuesday 19th September, and more details will be given at launch night.
Why not roll the dice and come along…?
September may seem a long way away, but we’re counting down the weeks to the launch night for our next production: The Pirates of Penzance.
We’re excited to launch the new season, and hoping to welcome lots of new cast and crew members. We’re looking for singers, performers, set painters, costume makers – and many more opportunities are available!
If you’re interested in joining us, come along to our launch night or get in touch to find out more.

Join us in October for a celebration of all things G&S – starring our wonderful patrons, Richard Suart and Pamela Rudge.
We loved seeing you in the audience for The Zoo and HMS Pinafore! Here are some of our favourite pictures from the shows.
