Rudolf Bing writes, 07 March 1946, “I will try and give you a picture of the situation which is very different from old Glyndebourne arrangements. It proved quite impossible to arrange a Festival on the usual Glyndebourne lines: no transport, no accommodation, no labour - things in general look pretty grim still. However, we were very anxious to reopen Glyndebourne, and we have now made arrangements for the production of one work only - Benjamin Britten’s new opera, “The Rape of Lucretia”. You know, no doubt, that Benjamin Britten is the leading young British composer, and had world success with his first opera 'Peter Grimes'.”
