Glyndebourne

The Glyndebourne Festival Opera began in 1934 when John Christie and his wife, opera singer Audrey Mildmay, staged a two-week festival of Mozart operas at their home in the Sussex countryside. Today the Festival is an internationally acclaimed summer season, featuring six productions every year staged in an award-winning 1200-seater opera house.

Glyndebourne’s continued employment of inspirational directors and performers, and the ongoing drive to commission new work, now goes hand in hand with digital innovations to reach new audiences. Audiences worldwide can now access Glyndebourne’s extensive range of work through many different formats, including cinema screenings throughout the UK and overseas, live streamings of productions direct from the Festival, the latest releases on Glyndebourne’s own CD label, giving access to both vintage and recent Festival recordings, and the annual release of acclaimed Festival productions on DVD and Blu-ray.
