Pre-Performance Talks

During the Glyndebourne Festival and Glyndebourne on Tour, we co-ordinate pre-performance talks presented by opera specialists or individuals connected with the production.

These 45 minute talks take place 75 minutes before curtain up. They are for ticket holders for the corresponding performance and they give an excellent introduction. Tickets are £7.50.
