Glyndebourne Opera Festival is a music festival held at Glyndebourne House near Lewes, England.

It has been held annually since 1934. Glyndebourne is most famous for its productions of Mozart operas; many of those productions are considered the finest ever done of those operas in the twentieth century, and the recordings from those stagings are still in print. In the late 1980's, the Glyndebourne Festival staged a new production of George Gershwin's "Porgy and Bess". It was directed by Trevor Nunn, and was highly acclaimed. The production was subsequently expanded from the small Glyndebourne stage and videotaped in 1993 for television. Trevor Nunn again directed.
