Beyond these architects of the festival, Glyndebourne employed the talents of many other émigrés, including the young conductor Hans Oppenheim, singers Irene Eisinger and Ina Souez, and répétiteur Jani Strasser. Many of these individuals sought refuge from fascism, and each contributed substantially to the achievements of the festival during its formative years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is the first to fully consider the impact immigrants had on the early Glyndebourne project. Using frameworks developed by scholars of mobility and migration, it is also the first to explore the festival as a place both bounded and unbounded by the Sussex Downs - as a festival created in England, but also in the far-flung sites in which the work of Glyndebourne was often accomplished.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHarback book\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"epub-section__state\"\u003ePublished on\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"epub-section__date epub-section__data\"\u003e20 June 2025\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"epub-section__page\"\u003e272 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57371252425079,"sku":"149815","price":92.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/9558\/3465\/files\/TheGlyndebourneemigres.jpg?v=1790696525","url":"https:\/\/www.glyndebourneshop.com\/products\/sor-the-gb-emigres","provider":"Glyndebourne Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
