Glyndebourne Festival 2013 celebrates world-class music and theatre at its best. | |  | | Ariadne auf Naxos by Richard Strauss
Tuesday 4th June (doors 6:30pm, start 7:00pm)
Live. Sung in German with English surtitles.
2 hours 45 mins.
The 2013 Glyndebourne Festival opens with a new production of this compelling and intricately crafted collaboration between composer Richard Strauss and writer Hugo von Hofmannsthal. After the enormous success of Der Rosenkavalier, the two men conceived the idea of a light entertainment, a small trifle to amuse and divert the public. | |  | | Falstaff by Giuseppe Verdi
Tuesday 18th June (doors 5:45pm, start 6:15pm)
Captured live in June 2009. Sung in Italian with English supertitles.
3 hours 5 mins. Throughout his long career, Verdi longed to find a good subject for a comic opera. Towards the very end of it he found that subject, in the vast and jovial shape of Shakespeare’s John Falstaff. | |  | | Le Nozze di Figaro by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Tuesday 9th July (doors 5:45pm, start 6:15pm)
Captured live in July 2012. Sung in Italian with English surtitles.
3 hours 45 mins Michael Grandage’s production of Mozart’s Le Nozze di Figaro returns. The opera has particular significance, as it was the first ever to be performed at Glyndebourne in 1934, with festival co-founder Audrey Mildmay in the role of Susanna. | |  | | Hippolyte et Aricie by Jean-Philippe Rameau
Thursday 25th July (doors 5:45pm, start 6:15pm)
Live. Sung in French with English surtitles.
3 hours 45 mins.
When Rameau died in 1764, the Mercure de France concluded its obituary with the words “Here lies the God of Harmony.” In many ways he defined 18th-century French music, publishing his widely influential Treaty on Harmony in 1722. Hippolyte et Aricie was Rameau’s first work for the stage, written when he was nearly 50. It is also Glyndebourne’s first production of an opera by Rameau, and will strike audiences, as it did in Paris in 1733, with its richness of invention. | |  | | Don Pasquale by Gaetano Donizetti
Tuesday 6th August (doors 6:45pm, start 7:15pm)
Live. Sung in Italian with English surtitles.
2 hours 45 mins. Donizetti was an enormously prolific composer. Don Pasquale is the 64th of his 66 operas, and was written only a year before the onset of the syphilis-induced dementia that was eventually to overwhelm him. Given the circumstances, it is hardly surprising that the diamond-bright wit and brilliance of this opera also has a distinctly dark side. Danielle de Niese, who is acknowledged as one of the world’s most talented and charismatic artists and has been described as “the world’s coolest soprano” by the New York Times, performs the role of Norina. | |  | | Billy Budd by Benjamin Britten
Tuesday 20th August (doors 5:45pm, start 6:15pm)
Captured live in August 2010. Sung in English with English surtitles.
3 hours 25 mins.
This year marks the centenary of Benjamin Britten, who was born on 22 November – the feast day of Saint Cecilia, patron saint of music. His powerfully dramatic Billy Budd returns to Glyndebourne, with Jacques Imbrailo in the title role and Sir Mark Elder conducting. | | We would like to thank our partners at
