Glyndebourne 2021 and several of the other open-air opera events that are such a feature of the British summer are planning to go ahead as planned, as the country looks beyond the global pandemic. Annunciata Elwes reports.
This year’s summer solstice will certainly be memorable. Not only will June 21 be our longest day, but, if all goes to plan, we’ll finally be free to enjoy it. The delirium of those thousands of neo-druids in white robes at Stonehenge will be nothing compared with that of the men in white dinner jackets, probably with shorter beards, holding picnic hampers and floral-clad companions. In short, country-house opera will return with bells on.
