An extraordinary performance for schools

We believe that opera can transform lives. That’s why, since 2006, we’ve welcomed over 20,000 students to Glyndebourne for our dedicated Performances for Schools.

Often their first taste of opera, it’s an experience like no other: Glyndebourne’s world-famous auditorium filled entirely with students, a special introduction on stage and then all the emotion, spectacle and intensity of a full length and fully staged Glyndebourne opera.

Don Giovanni

Paul Brown’s truly amazing set for Jonathan Kent’s production of Don Giovanni is – like the opera’s anti-hero – full of surprises.’ The InDePenDenT

The performance lasts approximately 3 hours and 20 minutes, including a 20 minute interval.

A revival of the Festival 2010 production Sung in Italian with english supertitles

‘ A dark comedy that follows Don Giovanni as he commits murder, seduces several women and joyfully manipulates all of those around him, including his loyal servant Leporello. Utterly merciless, he refuses to repent his sins to the man he killed and is condemned to hell.

Not many comic operas begin with a cold blooded murder and end with the hero’s consignment to hell – but Don Giovanni swings restlessly between comedy and tragedy to startling effect. Jonathan Kent’s sleek and suspenseful production, last seen on the Tour in 2010, captures this duality brilliantly.
