100 Years Old!!
Our Society is officially 100 this year!!! Berwick Operatic Society was formed in 1920 performing our first production HMS Pinafore in April 1921. To mark this momentous achievement we were planning a series of events through the year however due to the spread of Covid-19 and ongoing restrictions we have now had to put these on hold.
Events will now take place in 2021 and more information will be released as soon as possible.
Cameron Robertson, local photographer and researcher, is producing a commemorative book that will be available to buy for Christmas 2020 and will be a lovely souvenir for anyone involved with the Society over the years.
