Archive News

An update on recent news and happenings in and around the Archive.

Recent acquistions

Earlier this year, the Archive was absolutely delighted to be able to acquire two original  designs by eminent English painter Kenneth Green, for the Design Collection. Both are  costume designs for the character of Norina in Don Pasquale dating from 1938. They were  created for our own Audrey Mildmay who performed the role, which makes these beautiful  pieces all the more precious to us!

Appeal

Just a reminder of the eternal Archive plea – ‘jumble to some may be gems to others’.  We still have gaps in the Print Collections, so whenever you are having a clear out,  please think of the Archive.

Announcements

We were very sorry to learn of the death of Lorna Elias on 17 October. Lorna sang in  the Glyndebourne Chorus from 1963 to 1965, and also understudied several roles. In  that capacity she sang Ilia in Idomeneo opposite Pavarotti.
