History of the company
VLOC was founded in 1978 to perform musical works of the Victorian era. Their first show was Trial By Jury paired with Haddon Hall. Since that time they have performed all but two of the Gilbert & Sullivan canon many times over. They have also branched out into other European operettas and even grand opera. Mozart's (The Magic Flute). The mission of the company has been and continues to be to provide high quality performances of light operatic works, providing educational and performance opportunities to our community.
Our membership is drawn from all over the Greater Washington Metropolitan area.
