点评:An excellent first visit in this Summer season, 2025.
The production of Saul was excellent - innovative staging, great voices and a tight orchestra.
We sat in the stalls, row D, and had a fantastic view of everything. I would suggest there is not a bad seat in the house.
During the dining interval we took a meal at Over Wallop, the self-billed “fine dining” option. I would describe the food as very traditional - and clearly this is what a lot of Glyndebourne patrons want and enjoy. For us, used to be more innovative London restaurants, it was perhaps a little underwhelming and overpriced for the end result. From my recce of the site, the more casual restaurant “Mildmay” looked like the place to be and I intend on trying that next time.
In terms of dress code, the vast majority of men were in black tie which is a great tradition. Ladies however were mostly in semi-casual day dresses rather than the gowns you might expect to see. Perhaps this was just our performance on a Sunday.
Overall, highly recommend the experiences.

《风骚律师》的制作非常出色——创新的舞台设计、出色的配音和精湛的管弦乐队。
我们坐在D排的正厅,视野开阔,景色一览无余。我想说,剧院里没有哪个座位不好。
用餐期间,我们在Over Wallop餐厅用餐,这家餐厅自诩为“高级餐厅”。我认为那里的食物非常传统——显然,这正是许多格林德伯恩的食客想要和享受的。对于我们来说,以前在伦敦比较有创意的餐厅用餐,这家餐厅可能有点令人失望,而且最终的用餐体验价格过高。从我对现场的考察来看,更休闲的餐厅“Mildmay”看起来更适合我,我打算下次去试试。
在着装方面,绝大多数男士都穿着黑色领带,这是一个很棒的传统。然而,女士们大多穿着半休闲的日间连衣裙,而不是你通常看到的那种礼服。也许这只是我们周日的表演。
总的来说,强烈推荐这次体验。
