About

Ayr Amateur Opera Company (AAOC) was founded in 1903 and performed our first show in 1904. In 2024, we celebrated 120 years of staging high quality musical performances in Ayrshire.

In the summer of 2020 we were awarded Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO) status.

One of our aims is to share the arts with the local community. This is achieved through our annual musical production in The Gaiety Theatre in Ayr, performing at various concerts in and around Ayrshire, or hosting our own events like our annual Burns Supper.

Another of our aims is to raise funds for other local charities as well as supporting them in delivering their own charitable aims.
