The Summer Festival has entered a new chapter and goes from strength to strength under the leadership of Artistic Director Mark Padmore, whilst still remaining true to the foundations laid by Richard.  Concert performances of opera have become a popular tradition; Endellion operas include The Rake’s Progress, The Magic Flute, Ariadne auf Naxos, Gloriana, Tannhaüser, Die Walküre, Peter Grimes, Carmen, La bohème, Gloriana and Boris Godunov, with Sir John Tomlinson in the title role.
