A meeting took place on March 10th 1924 where singers and interested persons attended. The outcome was
that Harrogate Operatic Players was formed. It was decided to present Trial By Jury and the first rehearsal
took place on April 15th 1924. There were three performances of Trial By Jury from May 14th to May 16th
1924 in the old Winter Gardens.
We have over 50 playing members of various ages and always welcome new members.
We also have over 100 Friends who are supporters of the Society.
We rehearse on Tuesdays evenings at West Park United Reformed Church Hall, Raglan Street, Harrogate.
Nearer to a performance, a more concentrated rehearsal schedule is arranged.

Welcome

The first full musical presented
was The Rebel Maid and the
opening night was February 2nd
1925 at
Harrogate Theatre. Since
then the Society has produced
musicals annually up until the
present day breaking
temporarily during the war
years.

After the war, productions
moved to the Royal Hall but had
to move back to the Harrogate
Theatre in December 2002
following the closure of the
Royal Hall.

All shows are professionally
produced and in recent years a
second production has been
added which is now presented in
the Sun Pavilion in the Valley
Gardens, Harrogate.
