About the operas
The Jerwood Charitable
Foundation continues to
support the extremely
successful August performances
in the Jerwood Studio, featuring
Jerwood Young Artists and
other members of the chorus. In 2010 Glyndebourne presented a double bill of Stravinsky’s
short operas Renard and Mavra, directed by
Frederic Wake-Walker and conducted by Leo
McFall.
Developing young singers continues to be at
the core of Glyndebourne’s ethos, and the
upward trajectory of our choristers’ careers is
testament to this. As the Scheme enters its
sixth year, the outstanding progress made by
many of those who have taken part so far
ensures that The Glyndebourne Chorus
maintains its status as the pre-eminent
training and development ground for young
singers. We look forward to expanding the
Scheme over the coming years and are
grateful to the Trustees of the Jerwood
Charitable Foundation for their continuing
support of this extremely valuable initiative.
