Glyndebourne looks ahead to autumn season

Tickets are now on sale.

Jacques Offenbach – In the Market for Love will offer ten performances between October 10-25.

Spokesman Luke Batchelor said: “This is a new version of Jacques Offenbach’s one-act French farce, Mesdames de la Halle, by Stephen Plaice. Bursting with larger-than-life characters and big tunes, this comic miniature directed by Glyndebourne’s artistic director, Stephen Langridge, sees romance blossom between a handsome young cook and the charming orphan Ciboulette.

“Expect intrigue, unexpected revelations and joyful happily-ever-afters.”

The opera will be conducted by Ben Glassberg, principal guest conductor for the Glyndebourne Tour.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart – In Concert: The Magic Flute will offer ten performances between November 1-21.

“True love conquers all in a colourful fairy tale that pits the forces of darkness against truth, goodness and light. This 90-minute cut-down version of The Magic Flute will be performed in English and is directed by Donna Stirrup. Leo McFall conducts the Glyndebourne Tour Orchestra.”
