Festival 2021 concerts - audience reaction

Hear from the audience about our concert series

This summer the London Philharmonic Orchestra and the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment are filling the Glyndebourne auditorium with music once again, in our series of concert performances.

In this special series, curated by Glyndebourne’s Music Director Robin Ticciati, the two orchestras explore 400 years of music from baroque to contemporary, via four pinnacles of the symphonic repertoire never heard before in the theatrical setting and wonderful acoustic of Glyndebourne.

Read on to find out what the audience are saying about the performances…

Thank you, @glyndebourne @LPOrchestra for a glorious, soul-soaring return to normality last night. A beautiful performance, and it was so moving to see the orchestra together again at last 😊🎼🎫 pic.twitter.com/NeRB6V92y6

@glyndebourne what a fab afternoon/evening. Staff all very professional, friendly, and super covid safe. Mahler 4th from @LPOrchestra was fantastic. Musicians gave everything, so much energy on stage, Robin Ticciati what a performance #livemusic #bassdrum #sleighbells
