Three new shows just announced for Gly 2020: Poulenc’s Dialogues des Carmélites, Handel’s Alcina and Beethoven’s Fidelio.

Barrie Kosky will direct Carmelites.

It’s Stephen Langridge’s first season as artistic director but these plans belong to his predecessor, Sebastian Schwarz.

    For those who prefer their summer festivals in top hats and full-length gowns. No thanks.

    • MJA says:

      Where do you mean? I’ve never seen a top hat at Glyndebourne.

    • Christopher Cann says:

      What a bizarre comment. I’ve never seen a topper at Glynders in all the years I’ve been attending. Some sort ofweird reverse snobbery I guess!

  • Jack says:

    Why does Glyndebourne have so little interest in Verdi beyond Macbeth and Falstaff?

    • Glerb says:

      …and their Traviata played dozens of times in 2014 and 2017, and their new Rigoletto this tour, you mean?
