Activities near Hambledon
Utopia, Limited
Godalming Operatic Society presents Utopia, Limited, one of Gilbert & Sullivan's lesser known operas, a hilarious satire on English institutions and customs, as relevant and humorous today as when it was first written. King Paramount, the autocratic ruler of the South Sea island of Utopia, has sent his daughter, Princess Zara, to England to learn about English ways and customs, with the intention of modernising Utopia. She returns with six Flowers of Progress (gentlemen who represent the Great & Good of England) to explain English culture and institutions. One of the Flowers is a company promoter, who suggests to the King that Utopia becomes a limited company. The King agrees, with hilarious and unforeseen results Written in 1893, Utopia, Limited was Gilbert and Sullivans penultimate collaboration in which Gilbert satirises almost every English institution. It is accompanied by some of Sullivans finest music with colourful sets and costumes. This fully staged and costumed production will be directed by Duncan Hamilton. The 24 piece professional orchestra will be conducted by Musical Director Dick Stockton. Be sure not to miss this rarely-performed gem. GOS has won the NODA South East award for Best Savoy Opera 2023 & 2024Read more
Godalming Rock Choir
If you have always wanted to join a choir locally, you can! The local Godalming choir is run by vocal teacher Thomas George. People who have already joined the choir, who hail from Godalming and further afield in Surrey often have never sung before or had any vocal tuition. Once you join the choir you will find you learn the songs by rote from a brilliant set of resources and you will be amazed how quickly you go from 'not sure' to 'performance ready'. The songs are uniquely arranged in a way that helped Rock Choir originally establish the simple high/middle and optional low voice approach to make songs easy to sing yet still challenge you in places. To book your FREE singing taster session go to https://www.rockchoir.com/join. Here is a quote about our choir - 'I can only echo what people have said about Rock Choir. It's had such an impact on mine and other's lives. A fantastic outlet for singing feel-good songs, the ones we all enjoy to listen to - and the opportunity to be part of a group producing an amazing sound. I've made so many friends and had many fantastic experiences during my last 5 years with Rock Choir and look forward to many more!' - Emma (Rock Choir member)Read more
