Buxton Opera House is a restored Victorian theatre located in the spa town of Buxton, Derbyshire. Originally opened in 1903 as part of the Buxton Baths complex designed by Henry Currey, it quickly became a prominent venue for opera, drama, and variety performances. The building underwent significant restoration work completed in 2017 following a period of closure and structural concerns.

The Opera House retains many of its original features including ornate plasterwork and a traditional proscenium arch stage. It now hosts a diverse programme encompassing opera, ballet, theatre, music concerts – including performances by internationally recognised artists – comedy and community events. The venue is operated by High Peak Borough Council and plays an important role in the cultural life of the region.
