In 1924, Signor Rino Pepi, managing director of the Darlington Hippodrome, met representatives of Darlington Operatic Society (DOS) to sign a formal agreement between the two organisations to present annual shows at the theatre. The couple met as members of Darlington Operatic Society, with Susan joining alongside her sister, Carol, in 1957, and Ken becoming part of the society in 1961. WHEREVER her dreams take her, Rachel Geddes will never forget the feeling of appearing in her first show with Darlington Operatic Society. At just 13, she was part of the children’s ensemble for Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, in October, 2018. “Darlington Operatic Society has given me so much: unforgettable experiences, special memories – and friends for life.”Here's to the next 100 years.
