Glyndebourne comes to city

12 April 2012

There will be no rolling Sussex countryside, but big-screen relays of operas from Glyndebourne will offer the 18th-century courtyard of Somerset House as an elegant backdrop this weekend.

The opera house's acclaimed productions will be shown in open-air screenings from tonight until Sunday - and Londoners are being encouraged to bring picnics.
