Fab opera, absolutely fab. It was great to be able to dress up and public, and the various indoor spaces mean that picnics need not be ruined by the weather. The grounds are so pretty and the gardens are something special. Most excellent day out!
An amazing place. Beautiful scenery. Great opera. A real treat.
Magical experience, will definately go again. Beautiful countryside, amazing food, but most of all my first and awesome experience of Opera...I'm hooked!
Perfect day out. Recommend to all for a wonderful experience and excellent food. Opera icing on the cake.
What a wonderful venue. The entire experience is an all round delight for the soul and senses a piece of heaven
A beautiful venue for a stunning British Opera experience
An unforgettable experience, sublime music wonderful venue. One to be treasured.
Glyndebourne never fails to delight. Everyone should try and go at least once in their life.
Lovely place, great show.would love to come again for a full experience of building and grounds.
An ambient amphitheatre but was mostly closed at time of visiting. Still, worth a short drive to see. Plenty of art and advice available in the Galleria.
Amazing experience! Beautiful location. Stunning performance
Just finished my 20th consecutive season coming here. Love it.
Great Experience! I was for the first time at the Opera festival on a perfect summer day. Wonderful to have a stylish picnic in the huge garden and the opera "La Traviata" was superb.
A Wonderful place nestled into the Sussex countryside. Men all in tux and women in gowns which I would recommend as it always looks out of place to be the one who didn't dress for the occasion! I recommend you do ! A great experience and a great day to escape and enjoy watching opera whilst drinking champagne!
A beautiful place. I really enjoyed my visit there.
Beautiful setting, even in November, restaurant excellent.
An excellent evening musically in beautiful surroundings! The courtesy bus to and from Lewes made it so easy too.
A magical setting in the Sussex countryside. A world class opera house with picnics on the lawns, marquees or dine in the restaurant.
The music, singing, stage settings, production and direction are world class.
Tickets are available for the general public at very affordable prices.
Opera is not exclusive, everyone can be thrilled by the magical experience of an evening at Glyndebourne.
Fantastic place, wonderful reimagining if Rigoletto, just adore this beautiful opera house.
Glyndebourne Opera House is a magical place whether during the Summer Season or the Winter Tour; tickets for the latter are the average cost of a high end pop concert. The operas are always beautifully staged with a mix of British & international singers and a full orchestra. Although the catering may seem expensive, it is always faultless and the profits go directly into keeping the Opera open and it's associated education programmes. Opera is not just for the super-rich, it is for everyone and if you're worried about language, there are sir-titles, or in other words a digital display above the stage with a translation. One last thing to mention, it doesn't matter who you are, the Glyndebourne front of house staff treat every person with politeness, kindness & a caring attitude.
Actually there for a wake. But food provided was of a very good standard. Staff were friendly too.
A most wonderful experience. Staff are thoughtful and friendly. Made the experience most enjoyable. Opera was superb and beautiful food.
Absolutely beautiful experience. Friendly staff too and the food fantastic.
Been coming 15 years. Want my ashes scattered here. Whatever you come to see, always a lovely experience.
Amazing location for a quality opera,perusing the beautiful grounds & a relaxing picnic.
Came here on a school trip when I was 12, saw Imango! Loved it, would recommend and come back, staff where friendly too!
Fantastic experience, very British. Opera is outstanding. Gardens beautiful.
What a place! Scenery is the secret: the garden is beautiful, you get drinks and dinner served if you wish, the music is magnificent you feel the joy of the artists while playing - it s a motivation to take out your best wardrobe and join the most elegant dressed people - denims would definitely be an offense for all the ones giving their best at Glyndebourne!
Magical atmosphere. Beautiful garden for picnicking in interval. Wonderful quality of opera (Cendrillon by Massanet)
Excellent air-conditioning in auditorium and facilities for disabled. Such a pity it's so very, very expensive!
I always adore Glyndebourne, the gardens are so beautiful the staff are young trained very well. Also the opera was fantastic. To make 5 star from me. I need a trolley back to carpark with my picnic things, it get taken because we need hekp but we need hekp back. Secondly I the guardians/or senor staff of the opera house to have their metals back because they look like hotel staff and you are not a hotel.
A fabulous day in delightful surroundings with vibrant opera. Staff were wonderful and welcoming to us who were Glyndebourne newcomers.
My first time at Glyndebourne opera and it was such an amazing experience. I would definitely visit again.
Great opera. Superb funny production, marvellous music of course. Restaurant was nice but veggie main was tasteless and wine was poured before we arrived so rather warm! I am waiting for restaurant manager to respond to me but after ten days I'm still waiting.
A great opera house, set in attractive surroundings. Festival is expensive but fun. Productions vary from the familiar and popular repertoire - Mozart and the usual Italian stuff to the more modern and avant-garde, which is always disappointing for the posers and corporate hospitality brigade, hoping for something more accessible. Anyway, it's nice to don the uniform, adopt a learned stance and brush shoulders with the regulars, and bewildered foreigners trying to find their place in the Festival pecking order.
Wonderful place to spend an afternoon looking around the gardens followed by a delicious afternoon tea!
Alwys a fantastic time at Glyndebourne. Fight to get tickets!
There are many places to see opera but only one Glyndebourne. If you like opera, then it's something you should experience at least once in your life - if you can get tickets.
Always a pleasure to visit. Recently saw Saul - we were absolutely blown away by the splendour of the production. This is opera staged to the highest degree. The sun was shining as we set out our picnic on the immaculately kept lawns, and stayed shining throughout. It was a night to remember.
One of the finest opera houses in the world with some of the finest singers. All set in the grounds of a stately home with beautiful grounds. What could be better.
Went here to interview Danielle de Niese, and it was a spectacular visit. The whole staff and Dani were extremely accommodating. Within minutes of parking we were drinking tea and eating fish and chips.
A stunning property, a sight to behold. I will have to go back for a performance, as I understand that's why most people go!
Enjoy the beautiful grounds with your picnic. Champagne advised. 2nd year attending & would highly recommend.
Definitely not value for money, but WELL up to expectations in every other way
Everyone should have the opportunity to see an opera at Glyndebourne, the most beautiful setting
It is the opera in the middle of the field, wonderful and unique in the world. Very traditional English and with very well-kept gardens where in the summer when you are going to enjoy a good opera and it is common for them to be very good, in a long interval you will have dinner at outdoors having a picnic and all this with the audience dressed very formally in gala, impressive and unique.
Fantastic! Marvellous! Top class opera performance and picnicking in an English garden.
Beautiful music, in a delightful setting when it's Mozart and the Orchestra of Enlightenment what's not to like
Absolutely superb. Everyone was so nice. The grounds were beautiful and well spread out. Highly recommended even if you only go once in your life. An amazing experience.
Opera where the company works on a production together, rather than being thrown together at the last minute; where visual and vocal beauty unite with humour; where productions are the sum of efforts by numbers of people rather than the vehicle for a directors ego; where voices are often fresh and new, the stars of today and tomorrow rather than yesterday; where festival combines a fresh look at the old and an opportunity to enjoy the new; and an opera house, atmosphere and environment conducive to civilised enjoyment, make Glyndebourne one of the chief pleasures of my life.
Amazingly beautiful gardens and impressive opera in a country side!
A very English experience - picnicking on the lawns, dressing up, great opera. Lots of champagne!
The opera House and many productions are one of life's treats. Not Peleas and Melissande. Which is so dire that, along with many others, we did not return after the long interval.
