December 4-6, 2009: Pantomime "Red Riding Hood": By Norman Robbins
Theatre du Leman, Geneva

Come along and join us for GAOS’ 2009 pantomime Red Riding Hood. You may have noticed that she is not “Little,” and that is because this Red Riding Hood adventure is anything but little! Help Red Riding Hood and her friends Bo Peep and Boy Blue rid Ferndale (the smallest town in the kingdom) of the Big Bad Wolf by booing and hissing at this monstrous baddy; save Grandma Merry from the dastardly Sir Jasper de Vyle, Squire of Ferndale, and his hapless henchmen; and cheer on the handsome prince and his faithful servant Bobby Shaftoe as they make sure that good triumphs over evil. In this traditional British Pantomime the entire family can enjoy the magic! Cheer on the action, watch the dancing, sing the song-sheet and join us in wishing Red Riding Hood and her handsome prince a happy ending.

Director: Sue Lloyd
Assisted by: Phil Tuffs
Musical Director: Wolfgang Schutt

October 2008 - Under the direction of Andrew Close, the GAOS Choral Group performed Carl Orff's "Carmina Burana" with soloists and small orchestra, and the challenging 8-choir motet "Spem in Alium" by Thomas Tallis in the Eglise de Compesières. The church was full, the concert was much appreciated, and a good time was had by all!

The Geneva Amateur Operatic Society, now in its 37th season, is the largest English-speaking amateur musical society on the continent. With three to four major stage productions each season, ranging from light opera and musicals to Music Hall, Cabaret and English Pantomime, along with several evenings of light classical music and a choral group, there is plenty for all tastes both on-stage and behind the scenes. In fact, it's behind the scenes where much of the fun is to be had. Just look at the pictures from our production of the traditional Christmas pantomime Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

Entre Shakespeare qui clamait "la musique est l'aliment essentiel de l'amour" et Molière qui se sentait "un coeur à aimer toute la terre", il est certain que la guerre de cent ans ne s'est pas jouée dans un théâtre. Bienvenue donc à tous les amis francophones que GAOS compte de plus en plus nombreux sur scène, en coulisses et parmi notre fidèle public.
