	Glyndebourne - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Glyndebourne is a country house near Lewes in East Sussex, England.
		John Christie's original theatre, built on the side of the house, was enlarged and improved many times after its initial construction, and by the early 1990s it included a conglomeration of outbuildings housing restaurants, dressing rooms, storage and other facilities.
		In 1992 the old theatre hosted its last festival, and in 1994 construction of a brand new theatre housing a 1200-seat auditorium at Glyndebourne was completed at a cost of some £34 million, raised through public donations.

		Glyndebourne Opera Festival is a music festival held at Glyndebourne House near Lewes, England.
		Glyndebourne, which has staged operas for more than 70 years on a country estate in East Sussex, aims to shed its exclusive image with a modern twist on Mozart's Così fan tutte, The Guardian reported Monday [August 15].
		Glyndebourne is known for picnics in the gardens during opera intervals, or intermissions — and patrons in formal attire, sipping Pimms with smoked salmon.

	Telegraph \| Arts \| Glyndebourne and the grim gawpers
		Glyndebourne is becoming a bit naff and tickets are always available.
		Glyndebourne maintains its hold over the gilt-edged corporate market - "I'm told that it's the one invitation everyone accepts," says Jenny KilBride - which represents 19 per cent of its total audience.
		But the trouble is that Glyndebourne doesn't want to broadcast ticket availability too loudly, because the Catch-22 is that the harder it appears to get in, the more people long to come - demand must always exceed supply, and a ticket must remain a sort of prize.

	BBC - Radio 4 - First Term at Glyndebourne
		Some people see Glyndebourne as evening dress, champagne and picnic hampers - but in the world of opera it's seen as a nursery for the stars of the future.
		James Naughtie is the presenter of this programme which marks the 70th anniversary of the Glyndebourne Festival Opera.
		The programme reflects the strengths of Glyndebourne’s highly individual ethos - long rehearsal periods and ensemble casting of up-and-coming singers - through the eyes, ears and voices of two directors making their Glydebourne debuts, Adrian Noble and Annabel Arden, as well as two members of the Chorus, Miranda Keys and James Gower.

		First of all, they're not there; they're not particularly interested in the conception that you may have or what you're trying to find in the piece; they arrive very late on, pick up their baton and say, 'Do you mind moving him because he can't see my stick?' and that's about it.
		Hall argues that at Glyndebourne, unlike at most opera houses, a partnership of equals is possible.
		"Glyndebourne still suffers from that boring picture of people with fl ties drinking champagne on the grass with sheep in the background, which happened in the 30s and was jolly amusing then but is simply not true any more," he says.

	Battle of the bands ... er, orchestras \| csmonitor.com
		The "authentic" or "original instruments" movement, as it was called in the 1970s and 80s, claimed modern orchestras did not produce the sounds composers such as Bach, Mozart, or Beethoven would have known.
		Glyndebourne, with a tuxedo dress code and most tickets priced at $210, still calls up the image of a jewel-bedecked dowager.
		His approach showed its strengths this summer in a vivid, free-flowing "Don Giovanni." Strings were crisp and clear, capturing the violence, the heartbeats, and the humor of the opera with period-instruments-style precision.

	classical music - andante - contrasting carmens at glyndebourne
		Well, the short answer is that she exploded onto Michael Vale's industrial set in Act One, and by her fatal encounter with Marcus Haddock's Don José outside the bullring, she had virtually combusted.
		This was probably a one-off (she's in her late 40s, after all) and her musical and verbal subtleties could too easily strike listeners as arty mannerisms at Covent Garden or the Met.
		But this performance was filmed for television and will doubtless achieve wide distribution on DVD — which may, after all, explain her casting at Glyndebourne.

	Andrew Cooper: Glyndebourne
		The real reason for visiting Glyndebourne is not the Pimms, or the bucolic setting, or the chance to see and be seen - but the opera, which is of consistently high quality.
		After our first visit, William applied for membership of the Society, and joined it at the end of 1979 (nowadays, it is alleged that 40 years on the waiting-list is required if one wants to join, and the waiting-list has been closed).
		Membership of the Society is not cheap (nor are tickets - Glyndebourne does not receive the public subsidy which the other major British opera companies enjoy), but its benefits include priority booking; I pay half the subscription and have, in fact, been to quite a few more operas at Glyndebourne than William has.

	Glyndebourne Grimes - Herb Greer
		This summer's season, the last before the famous country-house theater is completely rebuilt, quite literally fell under a cloud in May when a mysterious fire (suspected but not proved to be arson) totally destroyed an outbuilding filled with sets and props for several of the current productions.
		One of these was Glyndebourne's new staging of the Benjamin Britten opera Peter Grimes, which opened the 1992 festival.
		The production was directed by Trevor Nunn, formerly the head of the Royal Shakespeare Company and better known in America as director of the Broadway spectacle Les Miserables.

		, Glyndebourne Festival Opera, 22nd July 2004 (H-T W) The first ever stagings at Glyndebourne of "The Miserly Knight", rarely heard and one of only three short operas Rachmaninov wrote, and of Puccini’s famous comedy "Gianni Schicchi" were superlative in nearly every aspect — true vintage Glyndebourne.
		Both were, of course, on the wish list of Glyndebourne’s young and energetic new music director Vladimir Jurowski, who had assembled a dream cast and who also conducted.
		Sadly, the heavy Glyndebourne program book does not give any performance history and I do not know if it had ever been done in the UK before but this dark and overpowering music with a hint of Wagner is certainly worth rediscovery.

	Andrew Cooper: reviews of Glyndebourne Festival productions
		I was rather surprised that the Glyndebourne ballot had allocated me tickets for this performance, the first-ever Wagner production at this venue and the first night of the season to boot.
		Ernman was only so-so vocally and managed to be boring as well as bored in the s-l-o-w dialogue (perhaps not her fault).
		Act One is fairly short and Act 3 is very short, and the interesting solution here was to put it in the middle of Act 2, at the point before Rosalinde's entrance when the chorus is actually sent off into the garden.

		I forgave her, though, because the trio by the masqueraders just before the ball - surely one of the most sublime moments in Mozart opera, and often one that doesn't quite come off - was exquisite.
