Support a production

Help bring opera to the Glyndebourne stage.

As a Glyndebourne production supporter, you will play a vital role in bringing world-class opera to life. Your support helps make ambitious new productions and exceptional revivals possible, while giving you a unique insight into the creative process.

As a production supporter, you’ll be invited to special events and rehearsals, offering an insider’s view of the artists and creative teams bringing each production to the stage. You’ll also enjoy a tailored relationship with Glyndebourne and a range of year-round benefits. Read on to find out more about the three new Festival 2027 productions available for support.

Support Idomeneo

Festival 2027 opens with a major new production of Mozart’s Idomeneo, directed by Stephen Langridge, Artistic Director, and conducted by Robin Ticciati, Music Director, with the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment.

This marks the first time  Artistic Director and Music Director have collaborated on a main-stage Festival production – making this a particularly significant moment in Glyndebourne’s artistic history.

Support La Cenerentola

For the first time in more than 20 years, Glyndebourne will present a new production of Rossini’s La Cenerentola.

The joyful comedy will be directed by Olivier and Tony-nominated theatre director Max Webster, whose spectacular and theatrical work has earned international acclaim. This will be Max’s first production at Glyndebourne.

Enrique Mazzola conducts the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment.

Support Jenůfa

Festival 2027 will also see a new production of Janáček’s devastatingly powerful Jenůfa.

Directed by the multi-award-winning South African director and writer Yaël Farber, this will be only the second production of the opera in Glyndebourne’s history and marks Yaël’s opera directorial debut.

Yaël will collaborate with Robin Ticciati, who conducts the London Philharmonic Orchestra, and a cast including Yaritza Véliz in the major role of Jenůfa.
