This is No Ordinary Opera. World-class productions performed in an award-winning opera house, all wrapped in that exceptional Glyndebourne experience: picnicking, dressing-up and precious time with family and friends in the glorious gardens, making memories that last long after the curtain comes down.
Performances run throughout the summer and autumn.
