Now a Waterperry Opera Festival annual Christmas tradition, our Messiah by Candlelight concerts have delighted sold-out audiences since 2021.

The Snowman (by Howard Blake) 

9th & 10th December, 2pm & 4pm

We are thrilled to announce an extra special Christmas production of The Snowman, with music by Howard Blake. Made famous as the beloved soundtrack to Channel 4’s 1982 film, the score includes the song “Walking in the Air”. Presented in a new semi-staged and costumed performance, the storytelling will be accompanied with lively and imaginative score performed live on the piano. This is the perfect Christmas event for families, and a special first classical music experience for children. Directed by WOF Co-Founder Rebecca Meltzer (Mansfield Park, Hansel & Gretel, Svadba), with our Head of Music Ashley Beauchamp MD-ing from the piano. Performed in the ballroom, under the huge Waterperry Christmas Tree, this will be something not to miss!
