And there we have it, after 18 days and more than 140 events, Buxton International Festival draws to a close for another year. What a fantastic festival it has been!

We want to say a huge thank you to everyone who attended and supported our memorable programme of opera, music, jazz and book events at our 2023 festival. Many of you supported us in different ways, with donations and through the purchase of raffle tickets; and this helps us to continue to offer an extraordinary festival each year.

Everyone is welcome!

Featuring songs, arias and duets by Mozart, Donizetti, Ivor Novello and Sondheim, this promises to be a delightful representation of all the operatic delights the festival offers.
