Welcome to St Albans Operatic Society (or SAOS for short)

We're delighted you're visiting our website and we extend a warm welcome to you.

Our mission is to produce fantastic amateur musical theatre for St Albans. We perform two major shows each year at the Alban Arena, as well as other concerts or smaller shows at other venues in the area. We perform a whole range of musical styles from opera to modern musicals.

We have been in action for 60 years and have a lively mix of members of all ages.
