Glyndebourne
Glyndebourne is second to none! By the time the champagne corks pop in the festival’s beautiful gardens during the interval, you’ll agree. Since its inception, performances have begun in the afternoon, as the extended interval picnic has become a tradition. The audience itself gives the legendary private opera on Lord Christie’s estate the stylish, noble Glyndebourne Festival cult status and celebrates the British way of life with fine food and champagne. For up to 1 ½ hours, guests dine nonchalantly in tuxedos and evening gowns in the picturesque park, a unique atmosphere in the heart of the county of East Sussex, where the opera intermission becomes part of the production.
Even 90 years after the first edition, the musical enjoyment is in no way inferior to the culinary one. With Bizet’s "Carmen" and Lehár’s "Merry Widow", two exciting new productions await you, framed by Mozart’s classic "The Magic Flute", Handel’s "Giulio Cesare" and Wagner’s "Tristan" and "Isolde". Immerse yourself in the very special flair, because Lord Christie’s maxim for his festival is still valid today: "Not just the best that we can do, but the best that can be done anywhere."
