Creativity Lives Here

Nurturing the Next Generation of Creativity

n y

Buxton Opera House is renowned for exceptional entertainment, but our impact reaches far beyond the stage. As a registered charity, every ticket purchased and every donation received safeguards our beautiful heritage venues, while directly fuelling our mission to inspire the next generation of theatregoers and makers.

This season, we are shining a spotlight on BOH Creates, our dynamic community and participation programme.

Following the success of our recent Work Experience production of Macbeth, which toured local schools and played as part of the vibrant Buxton Festival Fringe, the spotlight now moves out into the heart of our community. We are delighted to see the return of Outdoor Opera House festival, in partnership with Buxton Civic Association, bringing people together for a long weekend of activities that inspire creativity, wellbeing and connection to nature.

In August, our Summer School production will bring the infectious energy of Newsies Jr. to life in the Pavilion Arts Centre.

Looking towards the autumn term, September sees our Young Companies restart, offering new places for local young people to build confidence, express themselves, and develop their creative voice. This new term also welcomes back our Technical Youth Theatre as a weekly session, where young people can learn the vital, hands-on backstage crafts that keep our industry alive.

Of course, the magic continues into the festive season. We are already busy preparing for our spectacular Christmas pantomime, Sleeping Beauty, as well as our enchanting festive family show, The Princess & The Frog. This wonderful production will not only delight audiences in the Pavilion Arts Centre in December but will also tour directly into local schools, ensuring that the joy of live theatre reaches as many children as possible.

Whether you are joining us for an evening of magic, supporting our young performers, or participating in a workshop, you are an essential part of our story. Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to welcoming you to Buxton Opera House soon.
