Reader Offer: Priority Tickets For Glyndebourne Festival 2017

Glyndebourne Festival 2017 offers an extraordinary journey through 359 years of operatic creativity, from much-loved masterpieces to groundbreaking new work. All of the events are wrapped into the exceptional Glyndebourne experience of picnicking, dressing up, precious time with family and friends in the glorious gardens and making memories that last long after the curtain comes down. Six productions, 79 performances, from the UK premiere of one of the earliest operas ever written, to the world premiere of a brand new commission you won’t want to miss this year’s festival. We’ve teamed up with Glyndebourne to offer Country & Town House readers priority tickets for this year’s festival. Read on to find out how to get yours.
