Support the autumn Season
Help us to nurture talent, reach new audiences, and inspire the next generation of opera lovers
Our Autumn Season at Glyndebourne is already one of the UK’s biggest opera events. The emphasis is on discovery, delivered through the celebration and platforming of emerging talent and through designing the season to be accessible to new and more diverse audiences.
Off stage, we nurture upcoming singers, instrumentalists and composers through a range of talent development schemes, alongside delivering a host of projects to engage people of all ages and backgrounds in opera.
By supporting our Autumn Season you can help us continue offering an exceptional platform for emerging artists, and creating opportunities for new audiences and young people to experience opera, often for the first time.
