Since 2006, Glyndebourne’s Performances for Schools have inspired and enriched the lives of over 24,000 students.

Our Performances for Schools enable young audiences to immerse themselves, often for the first time, in the excitement of an opera. These are fully staged, full length performances with an on-stage introduction specifically for schools.

In 2017 our Performances for Schools include Così fan tutte, part of Tour 2017, and Belongings, a world premiere from Glyndebourne’s Young Composer-in-Residence and performed by Glyndebourne Youth Opera.

A revival of the Festival 2006 production Sung in Italian with English supertitles Part of Glyndebourne Tour 2017

A double dare results in false pretences and true love in Mozart’s dark comedy.

Would you place a bet on your partner’s faithfulness? And would you disguise yourself to test it? That’s exactly what Ferrando and Guglielmo do, with surprising results.

Conductor............................................... Leo McFall Director........................................Nicholas Hytner Designer........................................ Vicky Mortimer

As the innocent trick veers off-course, boisterous high jinks ensue, souls are searched, and true love is born – at some cost.

The Glyndebourne Tour Orchestra The Glyndebourne Chorus

Full of sublime melodies and dazzling singing, Così fan tutte is the third and last of the brilliant operas Mozart wrote with librettist Lorenzo Da Ponte (alongside Le nozze di Figaro and Don Giovanni).

CAST INCLUDES Ferrando............................................Bogdan Volkov Guglielmo............................................. Ilya Kutjukin Don Alfonso......................................... José Fardilha Fiordiligi..................................

Belongings

A new commission from Glyndebourne’s Young Composer-in-Residence and performed

by Glyndebourne Youth Opera Sung in English with English supertitles

The world premiere of a new youth opera exploring the experiences of young people forced by war to flee their homes.

Belongings, a newly commissioned opera by Lewis Murphy (Glyndebourne’s Young Composer-inResidence) tracks the journeys of two groups of young people, divided by decades but united by the geographical displacement they experience.

Conductor......................................... Lee Reynolds Director............................................. Lucy Bradley Designer............................................... Ellan Parry

Accompanied by their teacher, a group of evacuees board the train from London to Lewes to escape the Blitz, singing of the exciting adventure they anticipate in the countryside. Their optimism fades as they begin to pine for home, and one group decides to run away.

CAST INCLUDES Young performers from Glyndebourne Youth Opera supported by three professional singers and chamber ensemble.

This performance is suitable for students from Year ​5 and​upwards (aged ​9​and above).

The performance lasts approximately 60 minutes and does not include an interval.

Meanwhile, in the present day, a group of refugee children are re-building their recently demolished shelters. They try to remain positive while contemplating the dangerous final stage of their journeys.

‘ Glyndebourne… has been a pioneer in its creation of new work for teenagers.’

The Observer
