Lindsay WaltonLindsay thinks he was about 14 when he saw his first G&S show. It was FAMS‘ HMS Pinafore. He was so captivated by it that he wanted to be up there on stage with the others. It took a few years, but his dream came true when he joined the chorus of FAMS’ The Mikado in 1974.
In the following years he has sung in principal roles and in the chorus as well as stage-managed for FAMS and other groups. Lindsay’s roles have included Lord Chancellor in Iolanthe, Major General in The Pirates of Penzance, and Pooh Ba in The Mikado, Wilfred Shadbolt in The Yeomen of the Guard, Sir Marmaduke in The Sorcerer and Lockit in FAMS’ The Beggars Opera. Equally at home backstage as well as on stage, Lindsay can be “unseen” as stage manager for a number of theatre companies across Sydney; the highlight was a run of Sondheim shows at the Seymour Centre for the Lyric Theatre Company. Lindsay first joined GSOS as one of the “decrepit dukes” in last year’s Iolanthe. This year he disgusts us as one of the Dick Deadeyes! |

About UsThe Savoy Arts Company Incorporated has been producing shows since 1985, specialising in the operettas of William Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan. To better reflect its primary artistic objective, commencing from 2014, the company will be performing as Gilbert & Sullivan Opera Sydney. Our performing group has provided excellent training in all aspects of stagecraft for performers who have made a career in opera and musical theatre. The Ensemble style of our productions not only provides the chorus with experience in singing with an orchestra, but also provides ample opportunity to learn and develop skills in characterisation and stagecraft.
