Your Places or MineGLYNDEBOURNE: THE HOUSE THAT GAVE BIRTH TO THE OPERA FESTIVALSend us a textPicnic hampers, black tie, world-class opera — it’s the season for Glyndebourne, the festival that sired the happy, uniquely British phenomenon of country house opera. This week Clive and John discuss the house from which it all began (still central to the experience) as well as the headstrong, eccentric but visionary John Christie, founder of the festival in the 1930s. They reveal a tale of love, passion (for music), setbacks, epic dreams and triumph… somebody should write an opera about it.2025-05-2949 min
