GLYNDEBOURNE OPERA

Glyndebourne is a magnificent country house set in the Sussex countryside and is the home of George William Langham Christie and his wife Patricia. The Glyndebourne Opera was the creation of his parents John and Audrey Christie who set up the opera in the grounds of their country home in 1934.

The family are still heavily involved with the Opera today and George Christie has recently overseen the completion of the new theatre.
