A night to remember at the Peking Opera

A highlight of the English summer is a trip to Glyndebourne, an opera theater set in the beautiful grounds of a large country house 90 km from London.

Glyndebourne is known for its stylish audiences, lavish picnics and top-class opera performances.

The picnics are elaborate affairs. Tables and chairs are set up in advance in the gardens or in a meadow overlooked by a field of cows. Only the finest linen, tableware and glasses will do.
