Toronto Light Opera Association

The Toronto Light Opera Association was an opera company based in Toronto, Canada that specialized in performing the works of Gilbert and Sullivan. It was founded in 1940 and disbanded in 1955.
==History==
Members of the association first came together in 1940 when Howard Mawson and some friends who had appeared in collegiate productions of Gilbert & Sullivan operettas asked Mawson's father Frederick, a Toronto choirmaster and conductor, to teach them more about the performance of Gilbert & Sullivan's music. Frederick Mawson, with the help of his son organized what was to become the Toronto Light Opera Association.〔(Trial by Jury and H.M.S. Pinafore program ), Toronto Light Opera Association, 12 and 13 May 1949〕〔("Howard Mawson, 82: Brought Gilbert & Sullivan to life" ), ''Toronto Daily Star'', 13 May 2004〕 Frederick Mawson also served as the association's music director and led it in presenting operettas in a number of venues in Toronto.〔( Howard Mawson, ''The Encyclopedia of Music in Canada'' ), retrieved 24 December 2012〕 Their first operetta, ''Trial by Jury'', was staged in 1942 with ''H.M.S. Pinafore'' staged the following year.〔(Yeomen of the Guard ), program, Toronto Light Opera Association, 24 and 25 November 1949〕 There were no productions in 1944, as many of the young cast members were involved in the war effort of World War II.〔
In 1945 the first notices naming the troupe as the Toronto Light Opera Association appeared in the local news. In 1946 the ''Toronto Daily Star'' termed it "an excellent organization", and another review in 1950 praised the "enjoyable acting and singing".〔Photo of lead singers, Pirates of Penzance, ''Toronto Daily Star'', 20 March 1946, p. 8, Theatre notice in the same issue〕〔"Opera Group Shows Fine Acting, Singing" (review), ''Toronto Daily Star'', 24 November 1950; photo of lead singers in the same issue〕 Mawson was assisted in most of the productions by Alfred Kidney, who acted as stage director.〔 After a number of successful productions, the association disbanded in 1955.
