DVD selection doesn’t seem to prompt for format. I know that Blu-Rays were available at the festival. Can you order Blu-Rays, and can you also get previous festival shows on Blu-Ray?

Hi Eric,
This has just been set up – if you check any of the 2018 Festival Royal Hall DVDs, you will be given the option as to which format you would like.
We are planning on re-mastering some of our back catalogue, however this will not be for some time and it will not be available for all past productions.

All of the competition performances and the weekend professional performances are given on the Festival’s main stage. From 1994 to 2013, that was the Frank Matcham -designed 900-seat Buxton Opera House .
