Garsington Opera 2026

The Philharmonia spends its summers on the glorious grounds of the Wormsley Estate at Garsington Opera. In the 2026 season, we’re part of three operas – whether you love a romantic tragedy, a classic comedy, or you’re looking to try something new, there are few better places to spend a sunny summer’s day.
