Glyndebourne Festival, Lewes, East Sussex, England
Glyndebourne Festival, is truly unique in the world of opera. Glyndebourne is recognised globally as one of the great opera in a country-house. Its productions travel worldwide, are performed live in other opera houses and screened in cinemas from New York to Tokyo.
Glyndebourne remains very English institution. It opened in 1994 to everyone's delight and tickets are somewhat less difficult to come by. The Glyndebourne Festival presents six productions each year in a 1,200-seat opera house. Glyndebourne on Tour, founded in 1968, takes three productions around the UK each autumn. Together, Festival and Tour present about 120 performances a year to an audience of around 150,000. Glyndebourne’s widely respected Education programme, established in 1986, hosts over 230 community and outreach events a year.
Each year,Glyndebourne festival runs from May to August, it offers a programme of six operas. Around 76 performances attract a total audience of over 85,000. For others it is the social season's highlight; there is the ritual evening picnic enjoyed on the garden-framed lawn. Sheep and cows graze within sight while musicians can be heard tuning up.
Although the Festival runs only through the summer, the opera house is busy year-round. At the end of the summer it hosts the opening weeks of the Tour, providing a less-formal alternative to the Festival at lower ticket prices. And through the rest of the year it is used for education projects, concerts, rehearsals and scenery fit-ups.
