BBC Proms: The Marriage of Figaro, Glyndebourne Festival review - merriment and menace One door closes, and another one opens. A lot. It’s extraordinary what value those two simple additions to the Royal Albert Hall stage lent to Glyndebourne’s performance of The Marriage of Figaro at the Proms.

★★★★ #BBCProms THE MARRIAGE OF FIGARO #Glyndebourne - With merriment and menace, this was a strong #Proms transfer for a robust and affecting show - and the dramatic and vocal strengths of the original did more than just survive the move, says @boydtonkin.bsky.social theartsdesk.com/classical-mu...

A fabulous day at the Glyndebourne opera Falstaff yesterday & a debut for my new dress too! Plus a special round of applause for the set & props team (those fabulous cats LOL!!) 🥳🥳🥳 #glyndebourne #opera

Slumming it in the vegetable patch 🍑 #Glyndebourne #KÁŤAKABANOVÁ

#Opera Glyndebourne’s Marriage of Figaro now carries a content warning citing “unwanted sexual advances.” Sensible context or overreach? The move has sparked debate among fans ahead of the festival. What do you think? #Glyndebourne #Mozart

#Opera Janáček’s Káťa Kabanová revived at Glyndebourne (Michieletto/Gravagnola): concept-heavy staging, but the drama blazes in pit and voices. Kateřina Kněžíková is spellbinding; Ticciati and the LPO electrify, with standout support from Nicky Spence and co. #Review #Glyndebourne

A fabulous day at glorious Glyndebourne on Friday seeing The Marriage of Figaro! And the gardens and picnic were fantastic. Plus my new dress enjoyed its debut too, LOL! 🥳😍 #glyndebourne #opera

Janáček: Káťa Kabanová at Glyndebourne | Live Review Heavy-handedness might have cut off this production’s electricity, but the wrath - the wrath is divine

So difficult to write a positive review, that doesn't gush but this is beautiful. Some lovely turns of phrase from @eleanorknight.bsky.social

Káťa Kabanová, Glyndebourne review - emotional concentration in a salle modulable Even more perhaps than straight theatre, opera seems to draw attention to the meaning behind what may on the face of it appear a simple story. That doesn’t necessarily mean that the story, with all it...

Falstaff, Glyndebourne review - knockabout and nostalgia in postwar Windsor From the animatronic cat on the bar of the Garter Inn to the rowers’ crew who haul their craft across the stage and the military ranks of “Dig for Victory” cabbages arrayed in Ford’s garden, all the p...

#TheatreLife Saturday's performance of "Saul" at Glyndebourne ended abruptly due to a power outage. From the Upper Circle, announcements were faint. An emergency power source gave out before the final scenes. The lone wind turbine stood still in the calm evening. #Opera #Glyndebourne

Le nozze di Figaro, Glyndebourne review - perceptive humanity in period setting Over 100 years ago, John Christie envisaged Wagner’s Parsifal with limited forces in the Organ Room at Glyndebourne. He would have been amazed to see it arrive on the main stage this year. But émigrés...

★★★★ LE NOZZE DI FIGARO #Glyndebourne - Perceptive humanity in period setting, with a mostly glorious cast, sharp ideas but fussy conducting, says @davidnice.bsky.social www.theartsdesk.com/opera/le-noz...

@Glyndebourne’s new production of Mozart’s Le Nozze di Figaro is fantastic. Brilliant production directed by Mariame Clement and a stellar cast #HughMontagueRendall’s Count is pure comic and vocal perfection a must see #opera #glyndebourne #figaro

Tuxedo time! Looking forward to heading back to Glyndebourne today for Mozart’s Le Nozze di Figaro by director Marianne Clement with dream team of Huw Montague Rendall as the Count and Louise Alder as the Countess toi toi all #glyndebourne #opera

Glyndebourne's wonderful opera setting

The auditorium at Glyndebourne, waiting for Parsifal to begin

Parsifal at #Glyndebourne. Venue wonderful, magical. #Opera? That's a little more mystifying, especially in this production. But great fun trying to work it out. And "some" of the music is divine. As Rossini memorably said. Read Sophie Weston's blog and giggle libertabooks.com/a-writers-li...

A Tale of Two Operas While Wagner's Parsifal was inscrutable, Rossini's Barbieri shone

The Moon, quite orange, with the “man in the moon” features visible, above the narrow New Road between Ringmer and Glyndebourne. Overgrown hedges rise up on either side and Firle Beacon is in the distance.

Thank you Farringdon today was a lot of fun!!! #music #tfl #glyndebourne

While Parsival isn't our favourite opera, it was lovely to be back at Glyndebourne once more and the gardens are as magnificent as ever! #glyndebourne
