Moran Caplat writes, 24 February 1954, “John Christie is very well and active, and I think gets no less enjoyment out of Glyndebourne than he ever did. Rosamond is at home and is Glyndebourne’s hostess now, and George is helping me in the office. He comes to Italy with me for a fortnight next week and will act as Ebert’s assistant during the Festival. We are in the process of forming a Trust to look after the future finance problems, and so altogether I think it is fair to say that the chances of Glyndebourne continuing are pretty good.”

[Contains a letter addressed to John Christie in 1953]
Moran Caplat writes, 26 February 1954, “In all but a very few operas ballet performs a very minor role and up to the present the resources of Glyndebourne have been strained to the utmost to maintain the opera. It has not been possible to devote money to the furtherance of the other art forms of the theatre. There may be a time in the future when it is possible, but I’m afraid our immediate answer must be that we cannot contemplate the setting up of any kind of a ballet company or group.”
Peter Hall, The Arts Theatre (01 letter)
Peter Hall writes, 01 March 1954, “I am afraid that as things stand at the moment it will be impossible for me to leave the Arts Theatre in order to join you at Glyndebourne in Mid-May. I am deeply sorry about this as I would have been delighted to take advantage of your kind offer, but I am afraid that if it is to be settled here and now then any compromise is impossible. I shall not be finished at the Arts until June and I imagine that this will be no use to you.
However, I wonder whether it would be possible for me to come down to Glyndebourne in July for a week or so, just to hang around the place in order to watch and to get in nobodys way? I very much enjoyed meeting Professor Carl Ebert and would appreciate any opportunity of watching him at work.
Thank you for your kindness and I am sorry things have not worked out better.”

Moran Caplat writes, 26 March 1954, re. the cover for the 1954 Programme Book, “I think is quite beautiful and we are eternally indebted to you for making the Festival Book so immediately attractive once more.”
Moran Caplat writes, 15 May 1954, re. modifying the proscenium arch, “This proscenium is more important than any single piece of scenery since it is likely to remain a permanent feature here and looked at by the audience at comparatively close range under all kinds of lighting, and I am very anxious that it should not have any kind of makeshift appearance.”

John Bayfield
Moran Caplat writes, 15 December 1953, “You need have no fear that Glyndebourne will fall under an influence which will confine its activities to modern music. Indeed we hope that all the operas we give are in their own way classics, but we could never keep alive on an endless repetition of the comparatively few performable eighteenth century worlds.”
Brett-Jones
R. Coke-Steel
Moran Caplat writes, 28 December 1953, re. catering, “We have taken steps every year since the war as opportunity offered to work our way back to pre-war conditions, and we are encouraged by many of our patrons to believe that we are at least in part succeeding. The difficulties of catering at Glyndebourne are very great. There is no other restaurant known to us that has to provide a meal for at least five hundred people all at once on only thirty six or thirty seven occasions in the year with no second sitting or luncheon to support it, and it must necessarily be rather more expensive than the equivalent elsewhere.”

Moran Caplat writes, 23 July 1954, “I am sorry that you find the bat disturbing. Despite fairly extensive efforts each spring, it never seems possible to eliminate the last one, who makes a habit of appearing in the theatre at the end of the opera when it has become dark outside. It only becomes visible when the scene on the stage is a dark one.”
