Set the spotlight back on our world-class stage

DONATE TODAY AND HELP Glyndebourne remain a world leader in opera production.

Our essential backstage project has been on hold since we sadly had to cancel the 2020 Festival. To stay at the forefront of theatre technology, we need your help. Set the spotlight back on our stage by supporting this vital upgrade.

Recent technology has generated a wealth of new opportunities to improve the technical processes on our stage. Your support will help to carry out the essential transition from a manual backstage system, that derived in the 19th Century, to a modern, automated fly system. This will allow for greater creative possibilities, faster scenery changes and even more daring operatic experiences – that we can’t wait to showcase.

As we begin recovery from a multi-million-pound loss caused by the pandemic, we are determined to not only survive but to thrive.
