Nevill Holt Opera
Nevill Holt Festival, previously Nevill Holt Opera, is a summer arts festival held at the Nevill Holt Hall estate, near Market Harborough in Leicestershire, the home of David Ross.
History
[edit | edit source]Opera has been performed at Nevill Holt Hall since Carphone Warehouse co-founder David Ross bought the estate in 2000, initially as a Midlands outpost of Grange Park Opera.[1][2] In 2013, Ross founded Nevill Holt Opera, with Nicholas Chalmers as artistic director.[1]
A new 400-seat opera house in the stable block by architects Witherford Watson Mann opened in June 2018.[3][4] The new opera house won the 2019 RIBA National Award and made the shortlist for the 2019 Stirling Prize for excellence in architecture.[5] Performances in 2021 were held outside due to COVID-19 restrictions.[6]
In 2023 Nevill Holt Opera announced it was facing financial difficulties and cancelled two of the four productions planned for that year due to poor ticket sales.[7][8] On the same day, Nicholas Chalmers announced his immediate resignation.[7][8] In an attempt to reverse its fortunes, the festival rebranded in 2024 as Nevill Holt Festival and included other arts and culture events.[9][10][11]
