At Glynebourne


Granny and Gramps organised a trip to see Cosi fan Tutti at Glyneboure in 2000. We didn't have the picnic experience but ate in a tent, at the next table to Darcy Bussel. Of course didn't stare!

I remember that whole evening clearly. Expecting only to recognise a few tunes and be bored by the rest of the opera, I was totally drawn in from the first moment and rode the emotional roller coaster of the opera. I can't explain why but the thing, the music, the singing, the costumes, the setting and the atmosphere were truely magical.
