Welcome to EOMSOver many years Eastleigh Operatic and Musical Society (EOMS) has been entertaining audiences with a wide variety of musicals, operettas and musical comedies, in recent years performing two shows a year at The Point, Eastleigh. We are a lively and friendly group and new members of all ages are always welcome, whether you would like to join the Society as a chorus member, a potential principal, to help back stage or front of house or even produce, direct or play the piano at rehearsals!Our two productions take place in the Spring - usually in May - and in the Autumn - usually in November. Productions run for one week. We rehearse throughout the year, with a break in the Summmer, rehearsals take place at 7.30pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays at the new community centre in Hoddinott Road, Eastleigh (map). Not all the cast is called for each rehearsal. We also run a Junior Group (EOMSJS) for children from the age of 7 to 18. Rehearsals for the Junior group normally take place on Thursday evenings and Sunday afternoons. The society was originally known as Eastleigh Orchestral and Operatic Society and performed its first show, The Mikado, at Eastleigh Town Hall (now The Point) in 1937. Over the years, the society has performed operettas, modern musicals, pantomimes and concerts, and taken part in charity productions and carnivals. EOMS is an amateur company, affiliated to the National Operatic and Dramatic Association (NODA) Next production: HMS PinaforeWhat do you do when you become one of the country's most recognized TV celebrity chefs by chance? Open a restaurant to keep up the front of course! Joseph Porter O.B.E. has done just that, only he's cleverly found others to do the actual work. Eastleigh Operatic and Musical Society brings a modern twist to HMS Pinafore, retaining the wit, storytelling and humour of W.S.Gilbert's original, and adding a dusting of modern life and reality TV. As one of Gilbert and Sullivan's best loved works, HMS Pinafore gets a basting of hot sauce to spice up the proceedings!
This show promises to be a treat for Gilbert and Sullivan lovers and all fans of musical comedy in general!
