EncyclopediaGlyndebourne FestivalsGlyndebourne Festivals (glīn'duburn, glīn'bôrn) [key], operatic festivals given each summer since 1934 on the estate of John Christie at Glyndebourne, near Lewes, Sussex, England. The productions, under the directorship of Fritz Busch, were suspended in 1938 and resumed after the war in 1947. Vittorio Gui was musical director after Busch's death (1951–63). Since then, musical directors have included John Pritchard and Bernard Haitink. A new 1,200-seat auditorium replaced the smaller old hall in 1994. The Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia, 6th ed.
