The production, directed by Annilese Miskimmon, opened the 2018 Glyndebourne Festival on 19 May.

Next up on 26 July, Glyndebourne will broadcast Barrie Kosky’s spectacular production of Handel’s Saul (filmed live in 2015), followed on 14 August with a live broadcast of a new production of Samuel Barber’s Vanessa, directed by Keith Warner.
