About Glyndebourne

Set in the grounds of the private home of the Christie family, Glyndebourne is one of the foremost summer opera festivals. Many performances sell out immediately, and what makes it so special is the long ‘supper interval’ which allows guests the chance to picnic in the gardens surrounding the house. Glyndebourne offers an unrivalled opera experience to anywhere else in the world!

The dates, performance times and operas on offer this year are:

24 June – Parsifal, 2:50pm

28 June – Saul, 4:50pm

1 July – Le nozze di Figaro, 4:50pm

3 July – Il barbiere di Siviglia, 4:50pm

23 August – Kat’a Kabanova, 3:50pm

24 August – Falstaff, 3:50pm

In addition to the pair of tickets, a cash allowance of £250 per couple will be made available towards the cost of return travel, food other expenses, so that you can enjoy the whole Glyndebourne experience.

About the Raffle & Draw

• The draw is open from Tuesday 29 April until 3pm, Tuesday 13 May.
• Raffle tickets cost £5 each for students and £10 each for staff and Fellows.

Winners

The draw will take place on Tuesday 13 May at 3.30pm and winners will be notified by email. You will be asked to provide an order of preference for the available show dates and we shall do our best to allocate you one of your top three preferences. We reserve the right to draw another winning ticket should you not respond to this email by Monday 20 May and please be aware that the first performance is on 24 June. It is forbidden to resell or pass on the tickets to a third party.

The purpose of this generous gift is to allow members of College an extraordinary opportunity, while also raising some money for the College Choir. We ask that all prize winners provide at least five photographs, along with some comments, and a hand-written note of thanks to the alumnus who has made this possible within two weeks of your performance.
