Opera-Lytes

Since 1994, Opera-Lytes, an amateur theatre company based in Amherst, NY, has been delighting audiences with a wide variety of performances, including Gilbert and Sullivan operettas, "classic" Broadway musicals, and choral concerts. We present one or two fully staged productions each season with a full orchestra or a small combo of live musicians. 

Opera-Lytes is the only theatre company in the Buffalo area that presents the works of Gilbert and Sullivan - the famed "Savoy Operas" - on a yearly basis. The company has staged all of the Gilbert and Sullivan operas (except Thespis) and several company veterans can boast of having performed the complete thirteen works in the canon. Thanks to our love for and dedication to Gilbert and Sullivan's works, the company brings substantial resources to our productions.
