This year marks the centenary of the birth of Benjamin Britten, born suitably enough on 22 November, the feast day of Saint Cecilia, patron saint of music. His powerfully dramatic opera Billy Budd returns to Glyndebourne with Jacques Imbrailo in the title role, Mark Padmore and Brindley Sherratt making their role debuts as Captain Vere and Claggart.

Further performances:

15th, 17th, 20th, 22nd and 25th August
