Glyndebourne Festival Opera

The London Philharmonic Orchestra has a long and illustrious history at Glyndebourne, having been the resident symphony orchestra there every summer for the past forty-six years. This outstanding artistic partnership continues under Vladimir Jurowski who is both Music Director of Glyndebourne Festival Opera and Principal Conductor of the London Philharmonic Orchestra.

Since the first performances in 1934 - a two-week season in a purpose built 300-seat theatre - Glyndebourne Festival Opera has held a unique place in the world of opera, presenting world-class operatic productions in the heart of the Sussex countryside. Today the opera season runs for about four months with performances taking place in its much admired new opera house, which opened in 1994. Generally, six operas are presented each summer, often featuring Mozart and Britten, and also covering early music, romantic operas and contemporary works. Surrounded by beautiful gardens in which the audience can picnic during the long dinner interval, Glyndebourne remains one of the most enchanting experiences of the English summer season.
