Opera lovers around the world will get their chance to see Glyndebourne’s landmark production of Ethel Smyth’s The Wreckers from Monday 1 August when a live film recording is released on the new opera streaming platform, Glyndebourne Encore.
The critically acclaimed production, which recently concluded its run at the 2022 Glyndebourne Festival, is the first major, fully professional staging of the opera in our lifetime, attracting huge interest from across the opera world. It also offers the first opportunity to hear The Wreckers as its creators intended, with its original French libretto and a fully restored score. Curious opera fans who missed out on seeing it live at Glyndebourne this summer can experience this landmark event on Glyndebourne Encore instead.
