La Boheme
12 October 7:30 PM
Ellen Kent & Amphitheatre Productions present a spectacular new autumn tour, bringing a touch of the Colosseum of Rome to the Buxton Opera House. This production will be directed by Ellen Kent with the amphitheatre set designed by London designer Will Bowen.
This magnificent traditional production will be performed by international soloists alongside the full Chisinau National Philharmonic Orchestra and Chorus.
In La Boheme the amphitheatre structure will be converted into the attics and backstreets of Bohemian Paris and highlights the grandeur of Paris against the impressive Colosseum structure. This production will even boast snow!
With the most romantic music Puccini ever wrote, La Boheme will include the famous aria Your Tiny Hand Is Frozen.
Not to be missed!
Sung in Italian with English surtitles (please note: surtitles may not be visible from some seats – please check when booking).

Now The Orchestra’s infectious brand of orchestral rock is back on the road, following a sell-out tour of the UK to celebrate the release of their next Live CD. Come and here the real people do the real hits, including Mr Blue Sky, Evil Woman, Turn To Stone, Xanadu and the rock anthem Don’t Bring Me Down. Read more about this event … or
Bellowhead
27 October 7:30 PM
Bellowhead return triumphant from their appearance at Four Four Time 07, their hit album, Burlesque and their conquering of the Radio 2 Folk Awards in 2007. Their exhilarating live show has now moved from the world of the folk festivals (during their final summer performance at Sidmouth Festival the audience managed to break the dance floor – a fair reflection of the band’s attitude to folk music!) to filling theatres and concert halls. Spearheaded by the award-winning duo Spiers & Boden, Bellowhead features some of the most talented players from the younger generation of the English traditional and world music scene in a collision of traditional folk and Eastern European brass styles that is completely unique and not to be missed.
