TANTANTARA!

Tantantara! is the magazine of the Gilbert and Sullivan Society of Victoria. This publication provides a forum for the study of the works of Gilbert and Sullivan and other works of light opera and operetta. It incorporates The Palace Peeper, providing news of the Society and its members.

We invite submissions and articles for both TanTanTara! and The Palace Peeper. We prefer articles which relate to Gilbert and Sullivan or to the work we are about to perform. Please send articles by electronic means where possible, sending them by email to either email address below. Please send them as an attachment, not in the body of the email. If sending photographs for use in the magazine, please ensure they are at least 300dpi in resolution and if possible in CMYK mode. The magazine is developed using Adobe InDesign CS2.

We also invite you to send news of what you have been up to if you feel it would be of interest to the membership. We also invite you to send news that can appear on the relevant sections of this website.

You can, of course, submit articles or photographs by post. If you would like your material returned, the editors would very much appreciate a stamped addressed return envelope.
