Rudolf Bing writes, 25 January 1940, “I am sorry to bother you but you have always shown yourself such a real friend to Glyndebourne that I trust you will, if possible, try to help us again. You may have heard of our new venture: as we cannot at this moment plan or perform at Glyndebourne we have, in order to keep the Glyndebourne spirit alive and to provide employment for Artists, decided to revive the old “Beggar’s Opera” and to go outside our own boundaries for the first time in Glyndebourne’s short history.”

Rudolf Bing writes, 27 May 1940, “I have arranged with Miss Magny and Louisa to go down to Glyndebourne tomorrow and spend a day or two in looking through the complete wardrobe stuff at Glyndebourne, putting new moth balls in the boxes and doing whatever may be necessary to safeguard the wardrobe.” - Content event
