The 2008 Festival underlines Glyndebourne’s commitment to new opera with a major new commission from the Hungarian composer Peter Eötvös, together with new productions of Monteverdi’s L’incoronazione di Poppea and Humperdinck’s Hänsel und Gretel. The 2008 season fields new creative teams and important debuts by both international and British performers while welcoming back established artists and nurturing the talent of young singers.
PhotOperative is the latest project from Glyndebourne Education, in partnership with Photoworks, a visual arts organisation in Brighton. As part of this project, and together with the De la Warr Pavilion in Bexhill on Sea, Glyndebourne and Photoworks have co-commissioned Auditorium, a film and sound installation, which brings together the creative talents of artist Sophy Rickett and composer Ed Hughes to develop a new piece of exciting visual art.
Gus Christie Executive Chairman Glyndebourne Productions Ltd said:"We are delighted that Glyndebourne’s application to build a wind turbine, to supply the opera house with renewable energy and greatly reduce our carbon footprint, has been given the go-ahead by Lewes District Council. Climate change is one of the most important challenges facing our generation and it is imperative that we act now. We applaud Lewes District Council for their decision and would like to extend our thanks to all who have supported this project to date.
