‘The graciousness of civilisation here surely touches a peak where the arts of music, architecture and gardening combine for the delight of man’ wrote Vita Sackville-West with reference to Glyndebourne in 1953. Even until now that description of Glyndebourne, as an increasingly famous centre for opera, has indeed held true.
