  Glyndebourne Festival Opera Tickets 2007
Glyndebourne Festival Opera is an opera festival held at Glyndebourne, a country house near Lewes, in East Sussex, England.
Under the supervision of the Christie family, the festival has been held annually since 1934, except in 1993, when the theatre was being rebuilt.
Glyndebourne is most famous for its productions of Mozart operas; many of those productions are considered the finest ever done of those operas in the twentieth century, and the recordings from those stagings are still in print.

 Andrew Cooper: Glyndebourne
Every opera has a dinner interval of an hour and a half, during which one picnics (in evening dress) on one's picnic rug, though tables and chairs are now more common than they were.
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.
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.

 Jerwood : Glyndebourne Festival Opera : Jerwood Studio at Glyndebourne
In 2001 the Jerwood Foundation made a grant of £1million to Glydebourne Festival Opera to build a second stage area to provide valuable additional rehearsal facilities for Glyndebourne, particularly in relation to the development of the careers of young singers.
Glyndebourne has traditionally been a stepping-stone for young singers coming out of the colleges of music by supporting their work in the Festival Chorus, as understudies, and so on.
Many such young singers have graduated to become soloists on Glyndebourne's autumn tours and in some cases aspiring to soloist engagements after the Festival.

  Janacek - The Makropulos Case / Davis, Silja, Begley, Glyndebourne Festival Opera
The Glyndebourne production has made its rounds in and out of the UK for some time now, being revived from time to time, and even travelled to the Brooklin Academy of Music; most times it featured Silja, I understand in a few ocassions didn't.
Silja is Emilia Marty, an opera prima donna who, despite being 337 years old (a fact unknown to everyone around her) is sexually irresistable.
She has consumed an anti-ageing potion brewed by her father, and towards the end of the opera the question is raised of the desirability of such a potion being available.

 Britten - Death in Venice / Jenkins, Tear, Opie, Glyndebourne Festival Opera : Video   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Benjamin Britten was one of the 20th century´s greatest opera composers and one of the most productive, with more than a dozen operas to his credit.
Those approaching Britten´s operas for the first time are advised to start with the witty Albert Herring, the spooky Turn of the Screw or the tragic Peter Grimes, all of which exist in good video recordings.
Death in Venice was Britten´s final opera--an extraordinarily atmospheric and haunting adaptation of Thomas Mann´s novella, evoking the grandeur and shabbiness of a Venice in the grip of disease.

An important cycle of Mozart operas under Fritz Busch in the 1930s is still cherished as one of the finest in history, whilst Vittorio Gui's series of Rossini operas in the 1950s is similarly acclaimed by some as definitive.
Jurowski has a flair for operas by his fellow Russians, as he showed in 2004's The Miserly Knight, and Betrothal is the most interesting entry in the 2006 season.
