The first items in the collections are from the inaugural productions given in the Opera Theatre, in February 1973. The collection contains programmes from various venues within the college, including the Opera Theatre, Concert Hall and Recital Room.
The programmes in the collection are from concerts organised by the RNCM, usually featuring RNCM ensembles. However, a number of items in the collection are from external concerts or performances. These include performances given by the Manchester Opera Company, Northern Dance Theatre, Northern Ballet Theatre and Contemporary Music Network.
