A century after its premiere, Maurice Ravel’s L’enfant et les sortilèges returns in a bold reimagining — one that transforms this one-act masterpiece into a haunting exploration of trauma, memory, and redemption.

Chetham’s School of Music’s first fully staged opera, directed by Genevieve Raghu, features talented students aged 14–19, including distinguished alumni. With designs by Lara Booth and lighting by Ben Ormerod, this promises to be an unforgettable experience.

Chetham’s Opera – L’enfant et les sortilèges

The Stoller Hall

Where did all the books go? One morning, children look around their school and realise that every single book has disappeared. They can uncover no reason as to why this would happen. Together, they battle with the consequences! What should they do? How will they fill these empty shelves?

The Books That Disappeared

The Octagon Barn

On an average Monday morning… a young dinosaur appears in the playground of a small, rural primary school. What should the children do? Where did this dinosaur come from? Does this dinosaur want to join their school?

There’s a Dinosaur in the Playground!

A mischievous pirate opera comes to the Octagon Barn this summer. Billy Bone has stolen Captain Blood’s treasure chest full of gold, rubies and diamonds. So, Captain Blood is out for revenge!
