Description
A collection of 23 items from the Buxton Festival, from 1979 to 2000.
The collection contains festival programmes from the following years: 1979, 1980, 1981, 1983, 1984, 1986, 1987, 1992, 1993. In addition, the collection includes festival brochures (from 1988 to 1994, with gaps) and some individual programmes (from 2000 and undated).
The festival is described as the "Buxton Festival" in the material from 1979 to 1989; from 1990 onwards, it expanded to "Buxton International Festival". In 1993, the festival briefly transformed in title to the "Buxton Opera Festival". In any case, opera performances were central to the festival, usually taking place in the Opera House. However, many other types of events – including concerts, lectures and talks – were an intrinsic part of the festival, taking place in a wide variety of venues in Buxton.
