Meerbrook Park Church Operatic Soceity celebrate 100 years
Meerbrook Park Church Operatic Soceity celebrate 100 years this year, having formed in 1926 for the young people of Meersbrook Park Congregation Church.
Over the last 100 years they have produced a annual show and since the 1950's specialising in the works of Gilbert and Sullivan. Orginially in the "Tin Hut" on Chesterfield Road and then the church hall. Following the closure of the church n the 1999, a move to Dronfield Civic Hall.
Following Covid a return to their home, Meersbrook Park Church & Community Centre on Chesterfield Road, where they have carried on their tradition of producing the works of Gilbert & Sullivan all be in a smaller version, but still producing a quality show a "with quality shown through the solos, duets and groups was quite beautifully performed" (NODA Review 2025)
This year they have chosen "The Yeomen of the Guard" Gilbert and Sullivan's more melancholy operettas, set in the Tower of London where unlike the other operettas this end in Broken-hearted main character and at least two reluctant engagements, rather than the usual plethora of happy marriages.
Show dates are Wednesday February 25 - Friday February 27 7.30pm & Saturday February 28 2.30pm
