Glyndebourne is committed to providing work experience to young people during the periods March to August and September to October of each year. Placements are usually for 1 - 5 days.
Applicants from all backgrounds, and with varying levels of practical experience will be considered. However, there is an enormous demand for places, and not all applications will be successful. It is important that you make it clear why you want to do your work experience at Glyndebourne, which departments interest you and why. Glyndebourne is interested in hearing from a wide range of applicants, with different perspectives and experiences. We are happy to meet any access needs that we reasonably can; for some, we may need to do this in partnership with others (school/college etc).
Unfortunately, we cannot place applicants who are under 16. Those with no relevant and thorough technical experience will not be placed in any of our technical or making departments (for example Wardrobe, Stage Management or Props). Those with no experience will be offered placements in administrative departments, but where possible opportunities will be provided to see rehearsals and / or performances. Many past applicants have still found the experience to be invaluable, and have often commented on how exciting it is to be in the unique atmosphere of Glyndebourne!
Applications must be received at least 2 months before your requested start date.
