In a special semi-staged performance to celebrate the 125th Anniversary of Gilbert & Sullivan's masterpiece the Chorus joined forces with the ladies and gentlemen of Brighton Chamber Choir. We were honoured to be appearing with two of our patrons - international opera star Lynton Black, in the title role, and Dame Margot Hamilton as Katisha. With a cast of over 50, accompanied by members of the Brighton & Hove (actually) Gay Orchestra, this was an unforgettable show!

Coming Out of Make-Up - May 2009
As part of the Brighton Fringe festival the Chorus produced Coming Out of Make-Up. Our very special guests - David Raven, Dave Lynn, Scott Burey, Robert James and Jason Sutton - are best known for their drag performances, but for the frst time together on stage, they "came out of make-up" to appear as themselves. Music, chat and humour combined to create a thoroughly entertaining show. Special thanks to Josh Mills who stepped in to conduct at the last minute!

Twas the Night Before Christmas - December 2008
Our Christmas show this year was hosted by Doctor Who star Jacqueline King, and we were also privileged to be joined by guest soprano Fiona Baines. It was held in the presence of the Lord Lieutenant of East Sussex, the High Sheriff of East Sussex and his wife, and the Mayor and Mayoress of Brighton; and the mix of carols, seasonal songs and festive readings, followed by mulled wine and mince pies, got us all in the Christmas spirit!
