Glyndebourne Festival Opera is an opera festival held at Glyndebourne, a country house near Lewes, in East Sussex, England.
Under the supervision of the Christie family, the festival has been held annually since 1934, except in 1993, when the theatre was being rebuilt.
The renovated theatre opened in 1994. Gus Christie, son of Sir George Christie and grandson of festival founder John Christie, became festival chairman in 2000.
Glyndebourne is most famous for its productions of Mozart operas; many of those productions are considered the finest ever done of those operas in the twentieth century, and the recordings from those stagings are still in print.
