My Glyndebourne

This is your Members’ area

Thank you for being part of another wonderful summer of opera during this extra-special year – the 75th anniversary of Membership.

 What began in 1951 as a small group has grown into a strong and enduring community. Over those years, Glyndebourne – and Membership – has grown beyond the Festival. To reflect this, the Festival Society is now known as the Glyndebourne Society, embracing performance, events and a sense of community throughout the year. And Associate Members are known simply as Members – recognising their place at the heart of everything we do.
