Every summer, the Glyndebourne Festival transforms the English countryside into a stage for unrivalled musical virtuosity, inviting attendees to uphold an elegant tradition that combines etiquette and picnics in the gardens of Sussex.

Cutting-edge, accessibility and new talent

In autumn, the atmosphere shifts to make way for a six-week season of opera, concerts and recitals of a more intimate and accessible nature, in a programme that stands out as the ideal platform for young artists.

Social commitment and community impact

The institution’s work extends far beyond its acclaimed main stages through innovative projects, including community operas and support for composers from under-represented backgrounds.
