Glyndebourne Opera House Description
In Beddington a road turns off north from the A27 and heads to Glynde and the famous Glyndebourne Opera House, which was opened in 1934 by John Christie with a performance of Mozart's "Marriage of Figaro". The performances of opera, mainly by Mozart, but also by composers such as Handel, Richard Strauss, Stravinsky and Benjamin Britten, staged here attract numerous music-lovers from all over the world.

A trip to the Glyndebourne Festival is a trip back in time. Originally opened in May, 1934 on the estate of opera lover John Christie, the Glyndebourne Festival has gradually expanded to include operas other than Mozart's and to gradually expand its seating to 1,150 although tickets are still difficult to come by.

Tips
Tickets can be ordered by mail at the beginning of April but usually only tickets for lesser-known operas are available. For the favorite operas, chances are better closer to the performance when returns are sometimes made.
