Thank you @glyndebourne for the most magical Magic Flute! There is nothing like being back at the opera and hearing amazing singing and playing. Thanks to the lovely ushers, too, who created a great atmosphere. My mask was wet with tears…

Wonderful performances yesterday ,thank you
for such an uplifting Magic flute to keep in our mind’s eyes and ears as we head to lockdown. So sad for all.— Gillian Newson (@gillian_newson) November 2, 2020
This was amazing- staging was creative and worked so well with social distancing. Felt very lucky to see it. Beautiful performances from the whole cast and orchestra 🧡 https://t.co/u6aMMcO5PG

Have just left this performance. Fantastic singing and orchestral playing. What a treat to hear this amongst all the gloomy news. Impeccable infection control procedures by Glyndebourne organisation. Many thanks for putting this on.
