Ripon Arts Hub is home to a studio theatre and Ripon Operatic Society (RAOS) was founded in 1940. Originally the Society only produced works by Gilbert & Sullivan, before moving on to a wider range of musical productions.
RAOS is entirely run by volunteers and as such has no salaried staff, relying instead on the generosity of time and endeavour by its passionate members. Its governance includes a board of trustees that meeting bi-annually and an executive committee that meets every month tasked with managing the day-to-day running of the charity.
