Hey, I’m Maddie, I am the OpSoc Vice President.
My main role is assisting the President in the smooth running of the society. My individual responsibilities include writing the programme notes for performances and to organise the Freshers and Re-freshers Fayre.
I ensure OpSoc does it’s part in the community by encouraging charity work. This includes singing at nursing homes and participating in sponsored activities. Despite only being in my first year, OpSoc has already become a big part in my life and I encourage everyone to give it a go!

Social Secretary
Hey im Olivia and I study Art History, but have a great passion for singing and am a great advocate for the joy of singing with friends. I am really looking forward to being your Social Secretary this year and am eager to meet expectations, beginning with our traditional social at mooch after our first rehearsal and from then on there is much fun to be had this year, such as trips to the Opera and Christmas meals and so on. I am also always keen to take any ideas people may have about how to make our Opsoc social life even better! Look forward to hanging with you all!
Love Olivia.
Producer
Hello everyone, I’m Lily, a First Year Music student and newly appointed Producer! My main reponsibilities are managing the set, costumes and props for OpSoc’s performances. I am really excited to be a part of OpSoc’s summer production of Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas and I will strive to do everything possible to make it our best performance yet!
Hi! I’m Jeremy/Jez and I’m a third year music student. This year I will be OpSoc’s Musical Director. Essentially I am the music man: responsible for suggesting operas and helping people learn their music. I will also run most rehearsals. I aim to get as many people singing solos as possible, and hope to keep everyone in the society keen. If anyone wants any tips who maybe don’t have regular singing lessons, I am more than happy to help.
Répétiteur
Like all good pianists, Ed learnt his instrument one note at a time, starting with A and working his way up. In this, his final year at university, he hopes to conquer that tricky G-sharp and complete the set. He may even accompany a rehearsal or two.
