The 19th International Gilbert & Sullivan Festival
An undoubted highlight of this year’s Festival will be this performance of The Prodigal Son in St John’s Church in Buxton presented by A La Carte. The Prodigal Son was Sullivan’s first oratorio with text taken from the parable of the same name in the Gospel of Luke. It premiered at Worcester Cathedral on September 10 1869 as part of the Three Choirs Festival. Sullivan composed the music in around three week when he was still in his 20s and a rising star of British music. Read more about this event … or

This year we are delighted to welcome a return visit with The Contrabandista (or The Law of the Ladrones) a two-act comic opera by Arthur Sullivan and F C Burnand. The piece was the first of Sullivan’s full-length operas that was produced and it helped him establish him as a composer of theatrical works. Read more about this event … or
