Description:
In its first years of existence, in the 1930s, the Glyndebourne Festival Opera set out to internationalize English opera culture, both by attracting international artists and by giving émigrés the chance to further hone skills developed in Central Europe and beyond. This book writes the history of those immigrants into the history of Glyndebourne.
