Glyndebourne Festival Opera is an annual opera festival held at Glyndebourne, an English country house near Lewes, in East Sussex, England. Running from May to August each year, it offers a programme of six operas, whilst visitors can explore the stunning gardens, as well as, the temporary art gallery, White Cube.

Glyndebourne’s founders, John Christie and wife Audrey Mildmay, opened the first Festival here in 1934. Today the world-renowned auditorium and standards of excellence are testament to John’s original ethos: Not just the best he can do but the best that can be done anywhere.

Many Glyndebourne attendees come from London, and the event is regarded as part of the English summer season. A long interval allows opera-goers the opportunity for picnic dinners on the extensive lawns or in one of the restaurants in the grounds.
