About
Glyndebourne Festival |
Glyndebourne Opera Festival 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.
With a history of presenting opera dating back to the early 1990s, the recent major event in Glyndebourne's annals was the building of the new opera house between 1992 and 1994, opening on the exact 60th anniversary of the first performance - 28 May. It has 1200 seats and 42 standing places, but the demand for tickets is overwhelming. First choice goes to Glyndebourne members, followed by mailing-list members (allocated by ballot). A number of seats are then held for public booking, which opens for personal bookers in late April, usually attracting an overnight queue. However, it pays to check persistently for returns - an evening at Glyndebourne is usually worth the effort!
The gardens are still open to the audience for picnics in the long interval, which usually lasts for 90 minutes. There are also three restaurants - Middle and Over Wallop, Nether Wallop Carvery and the Mildmay - which need to be pre-booked. If it rains, picnics can be relocated to under the awnings around the new theatre, or to a bookable marquee.
