Madison Savoyards

media release: Make your month of May a merry one with our annual Grace Presents concert! This year we're most pleased to present a selection of songs sung by some splendid women whose voices range from a pair of soaring and soothing soprani to a lovely and lyric contralto, with a most magnificent mezzo in the middle, of course! As always, admission to concerts with Grace Presents is FREE!

We recommend providing your party with plenty of parking time as the famous Farmers' Market may make that task tricky. Among other options, the Overture Center Parking Ramp is a decently diminutive distance from the church.

The Madison Savoyards, Ltd. began in 1963 with a production of Gilbert & Sullivan's Iolanthe. Since then, the Savoyards have produced at least one Gilbert and Sullivan opera annually (except for 2018, when Die Fledermaus was performed, and 2020 when the planned production was cancelled because of COVID-19). All of the Gilbert & Sullivan operas have been performed at least once.

Mission: It is the mission of the Madison Savoyards, Ltd. to preserve the works of Gilbert and Sullivan and other light opera by producing and promoting live performances; to develop the skills and talent of cast, crew, and musicians of all ages; and to inspire, entertain, and educate the community through performances and other initiatives.
