The Moderate Soprano

by David Hare

In 1934, John Christie embarks on building an opera house on his Sussex estate, his vision of the sublime realized by a group of refugees from Nazi Germany, with his wife, necessarily, cast in the lead. The Moderate Soprano tells how Glyndebourne, this most English of institutions, derives its character first from a woman and secondly from an Austrian and two Germans.
