Classical highlights for the week ahead: 9 to 16 October

In the Market for Love

First staged outdoors two months ago, Glyndebourne now takes its production of Offenbach’s farcical one-acter into the opera house. It’s sung in a new English version by Stephen Plaice and directed by Stephen Langridge, with Kate Lindsay as Harry Coe (geddit?) the cook, who falls for the fruit seller Ciboulette, sung by Nardus Williams.

Petite Messe Solenelle
