About Glyndebourne

When our founder, John Christie, set up a professional opera house in the Sussex downs over 70 years ago he wanted to create something completely unique. Any visitor will agree that he succeeded in his mission, and today Glyndebourne retains his original ethos of striving to do "Not just the best we can do but the best that can be done anywhere".
