Garsington Opera runs for a month in the summer and successfully combines a repertoire of well-known operas with discoveries of little-known works. These have included the British premiers of Haydn's Orlando Paladino, Richard Strauss' aegypische Helena, Rossini's La Gazzetta and Janácek's Sárka, and first British professional productions of Haydn's La Vera Costanza, Richard Strauss' Die Liebe der Danae and Schumann's Genoveva.
The charm and unique quality of Garsington is its setting on a terrace adjoining Garsington Manor and its beautiful gardens.
Garsington Opera has made a point of giving a platform to young international singers making their debut in this country and of using some of the country's finest young singers. The Garsington Opera Orchestra is made up of talented young musicians many of whom are soloists in their own fields.
A series of chamber
concerts are also held in the spring and an expanding educational
programme is run in conjunction with the opera productions.
