Basildon Operatic Society was formed over 90 years ago. We are passionate about musical theatre and staging productions that are accessible and affordable for the people of Basildon and the surrounding areas. The cost of staging a full scale musical is typically between £30k & £40k and covering this with ticket sales alone is proving almost impossible.

We’re a proudly inclusive group, offering our members a sense of belonging, life-long friendships and a chance to express their creative flair and passions. We help people build confidence, learn new skills and feel pride in creating something spectacular for the local community to enjoy.

But, with the pandemic and cost-of-living crisis, we find ourselves struggling to maintain our high production quality whilst keeping ticket sales low.

So please give what you can to help us continue to put an amazing shows for the community to enjoy at an affordable price.

All donations are welcome
