Glyndebourne Festival Opera Tickets
20th May - 26th August 2012


Glyndebourne is a country house near Lewes in East Sussex, England. Since 1934 it has been the venue of the annual Glyndebourne Opera Festival.

The Festival opens on 20 May and features new productions of Janáček’s The Cunning Little Vixen, Mozart’s Le nozze di Figaro and a Ravel double bill of L’heure espagnole and L’enfant et les sortilèges. Melly Still and Michael Grandage, both of whom made their operatic debuts at Glyndebourne with Rusalka (2009) and Billy Budd (2010) respectively, return to direct The Cunning Little Vixen, conducted by Music Director Vladimir Jurowski, and Mozart’s Le nozze di Figaro conducted by Music Director designate, Robin Ticciati. The third new production, a Ravel double bill of L’heure espagnole and L’enfant et les sortilèges will reunite director Laurent Pelly and conductor Kazushi Ono, both of whom made their Glyndebourne debuts in 2008 with Hänsel und Gretel.
The season is completed with revivals of three much admired productions – Peter Hall’s La Cenerentola, David McVicar’s La bohème and Jonathan Kent’s staging of Purcell’s The Fairy Queen.

Premier Events can provide tickets for the finest Stalls, Foyer Circle or Circle seats for all performances at one of the world's most famous opera venues - Glyndebourne. Prices for the very best seats start at £425 plus vat.

Zenaida Yanowsky as Odette/Odile and Nehemiah Kish as Prince Siegfried 

07/02/11 - RETURN TO SHEER GRACE AND POISE IN SWAN LAKE

With Darren Aronofsky's film Black Swan annoying dance fans with its so-so dance scenes, it's a relief to see a real Swan Lake in all its theatrical and choreographic unity. Having Zenaida Yanowsky in the ballet is also a considerable plus. The senior Royal Ballet dancer has been less seen in recent years, having been away having children, but her performance in the twin Swan Lake lead roles of Odette-Odile proved her absence hasn't stalled her artistry.

If anything, her time out has brought a greater range and depth to her dancing and acting. Her Odile, the dark-hearted black swan who deceives the Prince, was especially assured. It's easy to turn the character, and the dancing, into a come-hither vamp who dupes the prince with her blatant sexual availability. The prince, like most men, may be vulnerable to this tactic but he is no fool - and very much in love with the white swan, Odette. Yanowsky's approach is to reel him in with a combination of curve and poise, her back and neck in arching hints of sexual pleasure while her composure combined with a contrived restraint leaves the confused prince especially vulnerable.

Running until April 8th at Royal Opera House. See tickets.
