Visit the Archive

The Glyndebourne Archive holds a wealth of material for the purposes of research, private study or curiosity.

Archive gallery

Two exhibitions drawing on our extensive archives will complement the 2012 Festival:

A Celebration of Art and Nature
From the gardens to the new wind turbine, this exhibition explores and celebrates nature’s impact on the creation of opera at Glyndebourne.

Eight Decades of Le nozze di Figaro
Productions of Figaro have marked many monumental moments in Glyndebourne’s history, from the inaugural performance in 1934 to the opening of the new house in 1994. We celebrate eight decades of performances at Glyndebourne.

Visitor information

The Archive gallery is open pre-performance during the 2012 Festival, from 3pm on Monday – Saturday, and from 2pm on Sundays.

The Archive itself is open Monday to Friday by prior appointment only:

• May to August 10.00 to 14.00

• September to April 10.00 to 16.00

Researchers are not allowed personal access to the filing system, but the Archivist will be pleased to discuss individual needs and assemble all relevant material before to any visit.

We do charge for some services, and details are available on request.
