Glyndebourne's new opera house is a striking modernist landmark set against the rolling Sussex Downs. It is also the vehicle for Glyndebourne's internationally renowned and complex productions that involve the coordinated work of singers, musicians, designers, technicians and producers, as well as the planning and synchronization of a mechanical operation that rolls forward on an industrial scale. Sophy Rickett and Ed Hughes's film goes to the heart of this vast production machine. Bringing together the artists' common interest in modernist forms and values in art, and strongly echoing Rickett's earlier photographic work, the film uncompromisingly strips back the operatic space to its architectural and theatrical core, revealing another more minimal drama of spatial plays and simple, slow movement that transforms the interior of the building in a monumental caress of light and shadow. Hughes's musical score overlays the film's formal, grid-like structures with its own elements of line and rhythm while adding further dimensions of musical space and colour. In this way the music reconnects the film to a sense of narrative, one that, complete with found sound and vocal passages, resonates with a history of operatic performance.
