Ruth Larsen

Grand houses can be found across the countryside of England and Wales. But what was life like for the mistresses of these great houses? How much power and influence did they really have?Focusing on eighteen women, and spanning five centuries, Ruth looks at the ways in which elite women not only shaped the house, household, and family, but also had an impact on society, culture, and politics within their estates and beyond.We meet Brilliana Harley, who defended her castle at Brampton Bryan; Frances Boscawen, who oversaw the building of Hatchlands; and Lady Mary Elcho, who preserved her secret life as mistress to Arthur Balfour.

Live Music

The Merry Widow

As part of the Buxton International Festival's return with another summer of world class music and unforgettable storytelling, the Festival is thrilled to welcome to Buxton this acclaimed production of The Merry Widow: a Scottish Opera production in collaboration with Opera Holland Park and D'Oyly Carte Opera featuring the Buxton International Festival Orchestra.Full of charm, sparkle, and good old fashioned mischief, The Merry Widow remains one of the best loved operettas of all time, and for good reason. Set in 1950s New York, the story follows the glamorous widow Hanna Glawari, whose fortune has become the obsession of suitors, diplomats, and schemers. Don Zeta, desperate not to lose her wealth to the wrong man, enlists the charismatic but reluctant Danilo to woo her. The only problem is that Hanna and Danilo share a past full of unresolved feelings, stubborn pride, and a spark that refuses to die.Hanna and Danilo's on again, off again romance sits at the heart of this wonderfully playful story. Lehár's music bathes the whole evening in warmth, with waltzes that swirl, melodies that stay with you long after the curtain falls, and ensembles filled with colour and charm. It's a show that invited you to lean back, smile, and enjoy a world where love, laughter, and a touch of scheming keep everything delightfully unpredictable.
