Opera South

Opera South is the name of a semi-professional British opera company based on the borders of Surrey, Hampshire, and West Sussex.
Specializing in staging lesser-known operas, the company was founded in 1984 as Opera Omnibus at Haslemere and was soon incorporated as a registered charity and limited company. The company rebranded itself as Opera South in the first years of the 21st century. In 2005 the Guildford [Philharmonic Orchestra] joined the company and plays at the fully staged productions. The company is currently presided over by Ann Murray.
