Abstract

With its focus on mobilities, this book takes a bird’s eye view of Glyndebourne’s early history and celebrates its internationalism. It considers the company’s extensive and complex networks and ambitions, the transfer of cultural capital that came with its artists, and the high degree of excellence achieved via the embrace, rather than the rejection, of cultural difference.
