Season Launch and Concert

Sunday 9 March, 3.00pm

The launch of our 2025 season will take place on 9 March 2025 in Thaxted Parish Church at 3pm. We are delighted that Wild Arts are returning to Thaxted after their wonderful performance of The Magic Flute in 2024 ‘Wild Arts continues to entertain and to stimulate in equal measure. This, surely, is what fringe opera is all about. I look forward to their offering next year ... ‘, Colin Clarke, Classical Explorer, 4 July 2024.

Join us for drinks and nibbles, beautiful arias and musical interludes from Wild Arts Opera (they will introduce their 2025 opera – Tchaikovsky’s Eugene Onegin) as well as insights into our ambitious and entertaining 2025 summer season from the Thaxted Festival team. We will have the 2025 season brochure ready for you to take away, peruse and book (General Booking for our summer season opens on 31 March), as well as a chance to meet our new Artistic Director, Christopher Weston.

Tickets now on sale: £25 (includes drinks and nibbles post concert); age 30 and under: £10.
