Welcome to the Kington & District Operatic Society (KADOS)
Rehearsals are now well under way for our next G&S show, The Yeomen of the Guard.
Since its opening night on the 3rd of October 1888, it has
been a success with audiences and critics across the world...
'We place the songs and choruses in The Yeomen of the Guard before all his previous efforts of
this particular kind. Thus the music follows the book to a higher plane, and we have a genuine
English opera, forerunner of many others, let us hope, and possibly significant of an advance
towards a national lyric stage.' ~ Daily Telegraph.
It is a rather more serious affair than most G&S operettas, combining tragedy and
pathos with the usual comical moments. So, join the tower warders (under orders), the merryman
and his maid for this much loved musical feast.
We will be presenting popular numbers from Yeomen, plus other G&S favourites, at our Llandrindod
concert in August. This will be followed by a fully staged production of Yeomen
in October. See below for
details...

We are looking for a new Musical Director. We need someone who would be prepared to take rehearsals
and then conduct our concerts and shows. A good sense of humour would also be a great asset!
If you are interested, please contact Lynne Owens on 01544 267253.
