* Music lovers enjoy opera and picnics with the sheep at Glyndebourne Picture essay: https://reut.rs/4dVb2Rr By Dylan Martinez and David Milliken GLYNDE, England, - Nestled in the English countryside 50 miles south of London, the Glyndebourne opera festival's setting is a world away from the city-centre opera houses which dominate the art form. "It's kind of us and the sheep out there," said Lauren Snouffer, a soprano from Austin, Texas who is performing for the first time at Glyndebourne in Mozart's "The Magic Flute" as Pamina. "It's picnicking on a different level," said Yana Penrose, 31, who operates marionettes and is strapped inside a giant puppet weighing more than 40 kilograms. This is Penrose's first time on stage at an opera after eight years puppeteering and acting since leaving drama school.
