The world's most sold out opera house....

Festspielhaus--Bayreuth, Germany

Is it the Met?

The Chicago Lyric?

Any company in America?

OK, maybe Bayreuth?  Covent Garden?  The Berlin Statsoper?

The answer?  None of the above.  Norman Lebrecht reports that the Glyndebourne Festival just completed their four month season.  Operating without any governmental support (something almost unheard of in Europe) and needing to sell 92% of their seats just to break even, the festival sold 99.18% of their tickets.  Amazing...
