Glyndebourne was the first and is still the best of country opera locations.  The quality of its productions has remained consistently high and in 2010 Don Giovanni, in a new production by Jonathan Kent and with Gerald Finley in the title role, is likely to be one of the most sought after.  Enjoy a weekend in Sussex, staying in the attractive old town of Lewes, with a visit to this production.

We have best tickets for this performance.

Hotel: We stay at Shelley's Hotel in Lewes.

Performance Details

Don Giovanni
Mozart's second collabroation with the mercurial librettist Lorenzo da Ponte is among the very blackest of blackcomedies.

For its first new production of the opera in 10 years, Glyndebourne is pleased to welcome back the winning team of director Jonathan Kent and designer Paul Brown. In the title role is the great bass-baritone Gerald finley, who has appeared in many Glyndebourne productions. He is joined by Luca Pisaroni as Leporello and Kate Royal as Donna Elvira. Making her UK debut as Donna Anna is the young Russian soprano Anna Samuil.
