Film poster for Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

Film poster advertising 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs' and 'Pablo and the Dancing Chihuahua' films at Buxton Opera House.

Buxton Opera House was designed by Frank Matcham and opened in 1903. It was initially a live theatre venue before becoming a cinema in 1927. It continued showing films and theatre productions until the 1970s but was in a poor state of repair. The Opera House was restored and reopened in 1979, with a new orchestra pit added to the original Frank Matcham design. Further restoration over the years has maintained and enhanced its Edwardian splendour.
