🎭 Celebrating 75 Years of the 🎭

Our window takes a trip down memory lane, celebrating 75 years of the Opera Festival with a vintage posters, newspaper clippings, and booklets from years gone by. Looking back at the history of where it started in the Theatre Royal and where it stands today, the window display has been created with "𝑯𝒆𝒂𝒅, 𝑳𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑭𝒖𝒏", bringing together thoughtful creativity, a love of our heritage and a playful Halloween twist! 🎃👻😺

With a little imagination and plenty of heart, we’ve given many materials from our art storeroom a new lease of life, reusing and repurposing what we already had.

Here’s to 75 years of history, culture and creativity! ✨👏🏻👏🎭

A LITTLE BOX OF OBVILION

By Stephen Bean, directed by Des Pollard

A man is sitting on a park bench reading his newspaper. An agitated woman approaches the bench and carefully places a box on it and asks the man to look after it but not to touch it, and then rushes off. Over the next hour three other people approach the bench and are told by the man not to touch the box, which causes much speculation and argument about what the box might contain. What it does contain is a surprise to everyone.
