Opera
2nd Assistant Ladies Costume Department
Festival Season 2017
"The costume department at Glyndebourne is unique in that it works on so many diverse productions concurrently. The three new productions each require costumes made from scratch, while the costumes for the revivals need to be unpacked from the archives, adjusted, finessed and sometimes – depending on changes to the cast – completely remade. The department itself has nine full-time members and approximately 25 seasonal sta ff: pattern cutters, master tailors, machinists, finishers and textile specialists, who work from January to October each year."

"Away from the mainstream cultural citadels, this is an inspiring place that brings out the best in artists. During a break in rehearsals, a stroll through the gardens or a view across the Downs can do more for the soul than a congested city street. The same is true for our audiences. To visit Glyndebourne is to be immersed in a different world. A stroll, or a picnic, in our grounds is part of the Glyndebourne experience and the gardens have their own enthusiastic supporters."
