This August, Glyndebourne Festival Opera comes to London with three outdoor screenings, transforming the beautiful 18th century courtyard at Somerset House into an open-air opera house for just three days.
The weekend features screenings of the three celebrated operas - 'Billy Budd', 'The Rake's Progress' and 'Hansel and Gretel' - plus a programme of daytime workshops, talks and family events on Saturday and Sunday.
A delicious Fortnum and Mason picnic, made from the same ingredients that fill their Food Halls, can be pre-ordered from www.somersethouse.org.uk from July.
