Midwinter Revels History
The Midwinter Revels, a beloved Upper Valley tradition for the whole family since 1975, is presented annually by Revels North. Founded by Carol Langstaff, this annual tradition started life at the Hopkins Center before moving to it's home at Lebanon Opera House in 2019.
We celebrate the holiday season and the turning of the year with singing, dancing, and traditions that span the centuries and the globe. Recent performances have featured the stories, music and traditions of the Northlands, Québec, Ireland, Appalachia, England, and Venice. After over forty years of performances at the Hopkins Center for the Arts at Dartmouth College, Revels North brought The Revels to historic Lebanon Opera House in 2019.
The Midwinter Revels would not be possible without the participation of dozens of children, teens, and adults who take on acting roles, join the chorus, and volunteer with costuming, makeup and hair styling. In typical years, auditions for The Midwinter Revels take place in early June, with rehearsals beginning in September.
The famed Midwinter Revels will be making a triumphant return to the Lebanon Opera House in December 2025, with a Scottish Celtic Midwinter Revels show. Watch this space for more news coming soon.
