Founded
in 1993, the Holders Season is established as the premier
cultural event in the Caribbean. Acclaimed nationally and
internationally, the season is a celebration of opera,
music and theatre. The production always plays to capacity
houses and it's high artistic standard draws audiences from
around the world.
Holders House, St. James, again
plays host to this musical and theatrical festival. This
stately house has been in existence for over 300 years
and is an interesting mixture of English and Barbadian
vernacular. The grounds are extensive and lovely with mature
tropical trees and shrubs, the perfect setting for the
open-air theatre that comes alive every year during the
Holders Season.
One of the Caribbean’s most exclusive
and most glamorous events returns for a series of
performances featuring an enormous variety of music and theatre..
