Buxton Opera House Oct 25 - Feb 26

What’s On OCT 25 – FEB 26

Creativity Lives Here

Welcome to our new identity: vibrant, contemporary, and full of heart.

At Buxton Opera House, we stand proudly for entertainment, community and heritage. Driven by creativity, our mission is to ignite a thriving, artistic community; building inspiring opportunities with and for our audiences; and creating internationally renowned theatre experiences that impact locally and beyond our ‘Theatre in the Hills’.

For the past year, our dedicated teams have been carefully reimagining how we express who we are. As we continue to grow beyond the local area, through our Created in Buxton productions, professional development pathways, wellbeing-led projects, and creative collaborations, we felt it was time for a brand that better reflects not only what we do, but who we serve: an extraordinary audience as diverse, passionate and creative as the art we share.

Our Season Highlights

2:22 A Ghost Story

As a charity, we exist to spark creativity. From within our two stunning heritage venues to spaces across the High Peak, we are home to more than just fantastic entertainment. We are a powerhouse of artistic energy – a place where talent is nurtured, creativity is cultivated, and everyone is invited to be part of something lasting. This is reflected in everything we do, from our main stage and Arts Centre productions, to the inspiring work of Buxton Opera House Creates, our community participation programme.

We hope this refreshed look invites you in, makes you feel at home, and inspires you to get involved: to create, to learn, to connect, and to grow.

THEATRE

MATTHEW DUNSTER & GABRIEL VEGA WEISSMAN

Jenny believes her new home is haunted, but her husband Sam isn’t having any of it. They argue with their first dinner guests, old friend Lauren and new partner Ben. Can the dead really walk again?

Winner of Best New Play at the WhatsOnStage Awards, Kevin Clifton (Strictly Come Dancing, Everybody’s Talking About Jamie, Chicago) and Stacey Dooley (TV presenter and Strictly winner) star in this edge-of-yourseat supernatural thriller. They’re joined by Grant Kilburn (2:22 A Ghost Story) as Ben and Shvorne Marks (Three Little Birds, Get Millie Black) as Lauren.

Belief and scepticism clash, but something feels strange and frightening, and that something is getting closer, so they’re going to stay up… until 2:22… and then they’ll know.

“There’s something in our house, I hear it every night, at the same time’’

Spitfire Girls Inspired by remarkable true events.

As the rain hammers down on the Spitfire Pub, two women separated by the war finally meet again. Their time as WWII pilots seems like a distant memory in this heart-warming tale of courage, loss and hope.

Spitfire Girls is an untold story of the extraordinary female pioneers who defied

expectations and formed unbreakable bonds in the skies.

Spitfire Girls was developed with the support of the National Theatre’s Generate programme.

This production contains themes of war.
