La damnation de FaustA rare opportunity to see Berlioz’s genre-defying masterpiece fully-staged in the opera houseWhen the scholar Faust makes a deal with the Devil he gains the world, but sacrifices his immortal soul. This vast, virtuosic score surges with passion and drama.
See pages 4–5
Il barbiere di SivigliaRossini’s classic comedy is rich in musical colour and sunny good humourTwo young lovers, a greedy old guardian and a quick-witted barber are a recipe for irresistible comic high jinks in Annabel Arden’s exuberant production, which brings out the surreal wit in this familiar story.
See pages 6–7
CendrillonMassenet’s sumptuous musical fairy tale makes its Festival debutFiona Shaw’s contemporary staging reimagines the familiar Cinderella story as a celebration of the power of fantasy and the imagination, probing beneath its pastel-coloured surface tofind the darker questions beneath.
See pages 8–9
RusalkaDvořák’s best-loved opera returns in Melly Still’s magical stagingInspired by The Little Mermaid, this operatic fairy tale tells the story of Rusalka, who sacrifices everything for the man she loves. Dvořák’s exquisite score combines the bright colours of Bohemian folk music with late-Romantic lyricism.
Die ZauberflöteEnchantment meets Enlightenment politics in Mozart’s final operatic masterpieceTrue love conquers all in a colourful fairy tale that pits the forces of darkness against truth, goodness and light. Barbe & Doucet direct Glyndebourne’s first new production of Die Zauberflöte in over a decade.
RinaldoHandel gets a riotous update in Robert Carsen’s romp of a stagingWhen a wicked sorceress kidnaps his beloved Almirena, Rinaldo must come to her rescue. Can he defeat the Saracen army and return victorious? Packed with magic and visual sensation, this production is a playful reimagining of Handel’s most successful opera.
See pages 14–15
Fairy tale, sorcery and legend make up the wondrous world of Festival 2019. I welcome you to our new season.
We are thrilled to be working with Barbe & Doucet for the first time on a new production of Die Zauberflöte. Renowned for their creative and spectacular productions, this will surely be a highlight of the season. As will the new work by old friends: Richard Jones returns to direct a new production of Berlioz’s ‘dramatic legend’ La damnation de Faust and Fiona Shaw brings her typically probing intelligence to Massenet’s Cendrillon.
Also returning are three Glyndebourne favourites which travel from Robert Carsen’s swashbuckling Rinaldo, through the watery depths of Melly Still’s Rusalka and to the bright Spanish sunshine of Annabel Arden’s Il barbiere di Siviglia.
We are so grateful to our Members for their continued support and we look forward to welcoming all our visitors to Glyndebourne for a summer of extraordinary opera in the Sussex Downs.

A visit to Glyndebourne’s Festival is about more than just the opera… Here’s a taste of what you can expect.
Escape to the countryGlyndebourne is nestled in the heart of the Sussex countryside, in the South Downs National Park, happily an hour away from the distractions of London and 20 minutes from Brighton. We’ll even collect you by coach from our local mainline station, Lewes (see page 20 for details).
Dress for the occasion We encourage formal evening dress in keeping with the direction of Glyndebourne’s founder John Christie. Fashions and attitudes to dress have changed since 1934, but our audiences today still enjoy the thrill of dressing up.
Make a day of itGlorious gardens surround our state-of-the-art 1,200-seat opera house. The gardens open at least two hours before every performance, giving you plenty of time to explore, enjoy the visual art exhibited around the theatre and visit the Glyndebourne Shop.
Picnics and dining Our 90-minute dining interval during every performance is as much of a tradition as our opera. Enjoy a leisurely picnic – you can bring your own or order one and collect it when you arrive. Prefer the great indoors? Leith’s at Glyndebourne run our three on-site restaurants, where your dining experience can range from a relaxed afternoon tea to sumptuous fine dining. diningatglyndebourne.com

The Festival experience
Faust is on the brink of suicide when smooth-talking Méphistophélès appears, offering
an alternative: he will give Faust all the pleasures of the world in return for just one thing – his immortal soul. When the scholar agrees it sets in motion a story that takes him from love to cruellest loss, delight to despair and ultimately from salvation to damnation.
Berlioz’s La Damnation de Faust is a musical thrill-ride – a dramatic tour-de-force that throws all of music’s capacity at one simple question: what is the price of the human soul? A vast orchestra and chorus conjure the composer’s fantastical visions in music that ranges from tender love-songs and ecstatic hymns to drinking songs and military marches, culminating in the relentless, propulsive violence of the ‘Ride to the Abyss’.
Glyndebourne Music Director Robin Ticciati brings Berlioz’s La damnation de Faust, directed by Richard Jones, to Glyndebourne for the very first time, with a cast of Festival favourites.

Il barbiere di Siviglia
The beautiful Rosina is kept all but prisoner by her guardian Dr Bartolo, who secretly
hopes to marry his wealthy ward. But when Count Almaviva falls in love with Rosina from afar he enlists the help of cunning barber Figaro to help him outwit Bartolo. A comic battle of wills ensues, but will love or greed be triumphant?
Verdi thought it the greatest operatic comedy – a perfect marriage of wit, energy and exhilarating musical invention. Rossini’s score fizzes with virtuosic brilliance, combining bravura solo arias, set to some of the composer’s best-loved melodies, with breath-taking, intricate ensembles, weaving together the story’s many strands into glittering musical and dramatic harmony.
Embracing the opera’s commedia dell’arte origins, Annabel Arden’s production is suffused with Spanish colour and warmth. Conductor Rafael Payare makes his Glyndebourne debut.

Cendrillon
GLYNDEBOURNE.COM | 09
Sweet-natured Cendrillon lives the life of a servant with her cruel stepmother,
stepsisters and her downtrodden father Pandolfe. Transformed for just one night, she captures the Prince’s heart at the royal ball. Will she find a way to escape domestic drudgery and reclaim her beloved? With a little help from her Fairy Godmother, she just might.
With its combination of enchanting love story and broad, burlesque comedy, Cendrillon is one of the great operatic fairy tales – a Cinderella that looks back to Charles Perrault’s original story in all its richness and ambiguity.
Massenet’s sensuous, Belle Époque fairy tale is gilded with lavish orchestral textures and glittering vocal writing, drawing on everything from baroque dances to Wagner-inspired chromaticism to bring its story to colourful life, conjuring a world of infinite musical and emotional variety.
Fiona Shaw’s production makes its Festival debut here conducted by John Wilson.

CendrillonJULES MASSENET
What would you sacrifice for love? Water-nymph Rusalka is in love with a
handsome Prince who comes each day to bathe in her forest pool. But if she wants to win him she must risk everything, giving up not only her immortality but also her voice.
Inspired by The Little Mermaid, Rusalka offers a poignant reimagining of the classic fairy tale. Rippled with silvery, watery beauty, Dvořák’s sublime score conjures a dappled world of shadowy half-light, of things unspoken and unseen. Rustic folk melodies meet courtly dances and magical love-music in this late-Romantic masterpiece – an operatic fantasy that looks beyond the storybook world of happily-ever-after to find truths that are powerfully and painfully human.
Robin Ticciati conducts this revival of Melly Still’s much-loved production.

→Our Die Zauberflöte study day takes place on Saturday 3 August. See page 17 for details
Prince Tamino is on a quest: rescue the beautiful Pamina, daughter of the Queen
of the Night, who has been kidnapped by the high priest Sarastro. But is all really as it seems? With the help of bird-catcher Papageno, Tamino must brave not only dragons and the forces of darkness but trials of fire and water if he is to arrive at the truth and gain Pamina as his wife.
Composed just months before his death, Mozart’s final stage work is a heady blend of knock-about comedy and contemplative beauty – a musical masterpiece that reimagines opera for the Age of Enlightenment. The sweetness and apparent simplicity of this enchanting score conceals a great deal of sophistication, weaving some of the composer’s most beautiful and best-loved melodies together in an elegant allegory whose wicked queens and noble princes are just the beginning of the story.
Antonello Manacorda conducts an exciting and vibrant cast, while the renowned and highly regarded directing/design duo Barbe & Doucet make their Glyndebourne debut.

Die Zauberflöte
WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART
Christian knight Rinaldo loves Almirena, but she has been kidnapped by the
scheming sorceress Armida. A magical battle of wits and wills ensues between Rinaldo’s Crusaders and the Saracen army, as the fate not just of two lovers but two nations hangs in the balance.
Carsen’s exuberant schoolroom staging is well on its way to becoming a Glyndebourne classic, bringing out all the energy and excess in Handel’s first opera for the London stage. The composer’s colourful, tune-filled score – bright with brass fanfares and memorable arias including ‘Lascia ch’io pianga’ – is one of his finest, sweeping the audience from laughter to love and back again, in this exotic, East-meets-West musical fantasy.
Rising young baroque specialist Maxim Emelyanychev conducts Robert Carsen’s production.

Note: Television cameras will be present at certain performances. The design of the auditorium specifically allows for camera positions to cause only minimal disruption to members of the audience.

Sightlines and Supertitles
The Glyndebourne auditorium is a ‘horseshoe’ shape.
As a result, some of our seats have a restricted view of
varying degrees of the stage; and restricted or no view
of the supertitles. Tickets for these seats are priced
accordingly. However, if supertitles are important to
your enjoyment of the performance, please tell the
Box Offi ce when applying for your tickets.
Foyer Circle sides and Circle sides
As there are a very limited number of these
seats available, please give alternative options
when booking.
Standing and slips
Standing places and slips are reserved until
public booking opens.
