Radio 3 joins Channel 4 in a simultaneous broadcast of the newly mounted production of Mozart's opera that inaugurates the new Glyndebourne opera house. Today is the 60th anniversary of the day that the same opera opened the first Glyndebourne Festival, of which The Illustrated
London News of 2 June
1934 carried the following review: "At the ancient
Tudor Manor House of Glyndebourne, situated in a beautiful wooded stretch of the Sussex downland near
Lewes, has been erected an Opera House fully equipped for the worthy presentation of Opera, and designed on the most. modern lines. Here ... will be given Festival seasons of Opera which, it is hoped, will ultimately make of Glyndebourne an artistic and musical centre to which visitors will come from all parts of the world."
Tonight's performance, presented by Natalie Wheen and sung in Italian, is preceded by the premiere of a specially commissioned fanfare by Harrison Birtwistle. Glyndebourne Chorus, chorus-master David Angus Martin Isepp (harpsichord) London Philharmonic, conductor Bernard Haitink
