Glyndebourne

At Glyndebourne, in this “Giulio Cesare” — a smorgasbord of arias, love stories, historical figures and palace intrigue that goes on for three and a half hours — the three countertenors distinguish themselves not only in character but also in voice.

This practice will be on full display this summer in a revival of “Giulio Cesare,” which will run for 15 performances from June 23 to Aug. 23 at Glyndebourne, the summer opera festival in the rolling hills of southern England.

He also conducted at the Glyndebourne Festival in England from 1988 to 2000.

Ukrainian opera Chornobyldorf - described as "a post-apocalyptic fantasy" and featuring often naked performers - won the opera and music prize, beating entries by the Royal Opera and Glyndebourne.

“I started the season with it in September in Munich, then October in Berlin, now it’s here, after that it’s London, then Glyndebourne, then one more that hasn’t been announced,” Akhmetshina said.
