See Ariadne Auf Naxos by Richard Strauss

It is 10 years since we unveiled our AJR Blue Plaque commemorating Rudolf Bing at Glyndebourne. To celebrate this, AJR has been able to secure a limited number of tickets to see Ariadne Auf Naxos by Richard Strauss.

The richest man in Vienna has commissioned an evening’s entertainment. But when a tragic opera and a comedy troupe are forced to share the same stage, all bets are off. Strauss’ opera-within-an-opera is part farce, part dream-like fantasy, set to one of his most luscious scores.

Robin Ticciati will conduct the London Philharmonic Orchestra.

Tickets are priced at £145 per person and are in the upper circle, which is accessible by lift. There will be the option of a meal during the interval at one of the restaurants, or you are welcome to bring your own picnic, or book a prepared picnic to collect at Glyndebourne, and make use of the facilities within the grounds.

You will need to be able to make your own way to Glyndebourne, which is located near Lewes in Sussex. There is a shuttle service from Lewes Station (from Victoria Station), prior and post-performance, and free on-site car parking.
