Longborough Festival Opera
United Kingdom
Longborough Festival Opera is a summer opera festival in the English Cotswolds village of Longborough in north Gloucestershire. It can trace its roots back to 1991 as a series of concerts in the home of its founders, local property developer Martin Graham and his wife Lizzie. Martin Graham died in 2025 aged 83, but the Graham family remains deeply involved. Martin and Lizzie's daughter, the stage director Polly Graham, was appointed Artistic Director in 2018 and Emily Gottlieb joined as Executive Director in 2024. Longborough Festival Opera is a charity, established in 2000, which is led by an independent board of trustees. It receives no public grant funding nor any revenue from the Graham family, and relies on ticket sales and the generosity of philanthropists, trusts and foundations, members and audiences.
