About
Longborough Festival Opera is one of the UK's finest country opera houses: an intimate 500-seat theatre set amidst the glorious rolling hills of the Cotswolds.
Each performance is created especially for the Festival: talented designers, directors, conductors and the best up-and-coming artists coming together to bring you something you won't have seen anywhere else.
