Inspired by the Darley Pageant by Wendy Bitton, this new opera-ballet pays homage to the unceasing energy of the River Derwent that gave power to the former cotton industry in Darley Abbey.
As part of Constella's Spin A Tale, a partnership with Derbyshire’s Darley Abbey to bring its heritage to life through a series of seven short films with newly commissioned dance, music and drama.
