Performances at Glyndebourne until 1st December

Light, lyrical and bursting with energy, L'elisir d'amore was the biggest success of Donizetti's career. Updating the action to the 1940s, Annabel Arden"s production celebrates the opera's original joyful, colourful spirit, painting an affectionate picture of an Italy on the brink of political change. Returning this autumn with an exciting young cast, including soprano Mariam Battistelli as Adina.

Performances at Glyndebourne until 2nd December
12, 19, 24, 26, 29 November; 2 December (4.00pm)
Tickets £10 – £78
Smart, subversive and just a little bit playful, Mariame Clément's new staging of Mozart's Don Giovanni gets under the skin of this classic opera and its elusive anti-hero, uncovering its tensions and shifting perspectives. The production comes fresh from its Festival premiere this summer with rising star Stephanie Childress conducting a new cast, including Andrei Bondarenko as the titular roguish count. Prior to the performances of Don Giovanni on 19 and 26 November, musicians from the Jerwood Pit Perfect programme will present a free, informal recital of instrumental music. Pit Perfect is a unique programme where young, recently graduated instrumentalists join the Glyndebourne Sinfonia, gaining their first professional operatic experience. This programme is made possible thanks to the generosity of the Jerwood Foundation.
