The Glyndebourne Festival 2011 opens this Summer on Saturday 21st May and runs through to Sunday 28th August.
With two new productions in the form of Wagner's Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg and Handel's Rinaldo you can expect tickets to move fairly quickly. Other productions include the revivals of L'elisir d'amore, Don Giovanni and The Turn of the Screw – whilst Rusalka also returns featuring the young Russian-American soprano Dina Kuznetsova (who made her Festival debut in 2009 as Alice in Falstaff).
