Hiring costumes for shows is always a
major item of expenditure but Guildford Opera Company has built up a
large collection of costumes over the years, looked after by Kris
Benjafield, and they are available for hire (at reasonable rates).
The company
now tries not to hire in many costumes for a show, but where possible
to utilise existing stocks, altering or making new costumes as
required. Kris also looks after the costumes for another local society,
Ghosts, and these are also available to the company for shows, (and for
hire) increasing the variety of costumes now available.
