Spark
14 – 15 November
Spark tells a heartwarming tale of loss, friendship and keeping the spark of imagination alive. Don’t miss this world premiere by composer Lucy Armstrong and librettist Olivia Bell, directed by Fiona Dunn.
Professional soloists and the Glyndebourne Sinfonia will be joined by the Glyndebourne Youth Opera, bringing the first full-scale opera created by Glyndebourne’s Balancing The Score scheme to life on the Glyndebourne mainstage.
