Actors Opera and Light Opera of New York are presenting a triple bill of Sir Arthur Sullivan one-act operettas at the International Gilbert and Sullivan Festival this summer in England.

Although members of our group have previously performed in Buxton, this is our first venture to the Festival as a Company, and we hope to make it an annual event.

Two groups have combined forces to make this possible.

Actors Opera has been performing Gilbert and Sullivan revues for over ten years throughought the Eastern United States. Past Productions include "A Victorian Valentine" and "Savoyards, Unchained." Founded by Nathan Hull and Julia Davidson Truilo, the group also performs at two Elderhostels each year in Vermont, "The Topsy-Turvy World of Gilbert and Sullivan," and "Ah, Sweet Mystery: The Art and Music of the Operetta." Both are taught by Mr Hull.

Light Opera of New York (yes, LOONY) is a professional, not-for-profit operetta company. No group is currently producing high quality operetta in New York on a full-time basis, and LOONY has been recently been formed to fill this void. Founding directors include Jack Behonek, Carol Davis, Nathan Hull and Rich Miller.
