[Documents = Notes for the press, “Glyndebourne’s New Venture, John Gielgud to Produce “The Beggar’s Opera”]

Rudolf Bing writes, 06 December 1939, “Now it appears that the arrangements for Glyndebourne’s first venture outside Glyndebourne are more or less completed…it is the first time that Glyndebourne turns to such new fields…Also, the fact that John Gielgud joins Glyndebourne for the first time should be of considerable interest to the theatrical minded section of the public.”

Henry Martin writes, 08 December 1939, “It is good to know that Glyndebourne, in spite of the babies, is not allowing itself to be submerged by the war.”
