​Victorian Lyric Opera Company is a community theatre company, based in Rockville MD, specializing in the works of Gilbert & Sullivan.

Victorian Lyric Opera Company (VLOC) was founded in 1978 to perform musical works of the Victorian era. Our first show was Trial By Jury paired with Cox and Box. Since that time we have performed all of the works in the Gilbert & Sullivan canon, most of them many times over. We have also branched out into other European operettas and even grand opera, like Mozart's The Magic Flute & Donizetti's The Elixir of Love.  In 2011, The Victorian Lyric Opera Company merged with The Forgotten Opera Company. VLOC is a resident company at the F. Scott Fitzgerald Theatre at the Rockville Civic Center in Rockville, Maryland.
