Glyndebourne at Somerset House

In August 2010 Glyndebourne Festival Opera went to London live on the big screen, transforming the beautiful setting of the 18th century Courtyard at Somerset House into an open-air opera house for just three days.

The chance to experience the thrill of opera direct from one of the world’s great opera houses with an evening screening of a full-length opera: the new production of Billy Budd, directed by Michael Grandage; the celebrated Glyndebourne production of The Rake’s Progress featuring stunning designs by David Hockney, were screened live from the 2010 Festival itself: and a special matinee screening for all the family of Hansel and Gretel.
