Glyndebourne Considers Accessibility in it’s ‘Chilled Performance’

This year, there’s an extended effort to make the performances welcoming to everyone. On Saturday 10 December at 2 pm, there will be a ‘Chilled Performance’ with a much more casual approach to noise and movement during the performance.

For example, someone living with dementia is free to ask a companion what’s happening on stage during the performance. Or a parent with a baby in arms knows they can come in and out of the auditorium as and when they need. Or if there’s anyone that feels that it is difficult to access these shows because of the formality, the Chilled Performance is a casual way to get into the world of Glyndebourne.

The Chilled Performance runs Saturday 10 December at 2 pm. Standard nights are Saturday 10 December at 7 pm, and Sunday 11 December at 2 pm. glyndebourne.com
