The History of Opera-Lytes

Staging Gilbert & Sullivan and light opera in 

Western New York since 1994.

Gilbert & Sullivan's Sorcerer at the Riviera Theatre (2012).

To mark our 30th anniversary season, Opera-Lytes commissioned our spring 2024 intern, a Writing major at Buffalo State University, to research and write a series of articles about the history of the company. Installments in this series will be posted throughout this anniversary year. 

Please also visit the website's collections of photos from our production history, currently under construction.

The website also has a chronology of all Opera-Lytes staged productions.
