点评：Went there for Grange Festival Opera. Signage on the road is not good and the satnav takes you to about 500 metres from the gate. Had no idea the building is a wreck inside. One wonders why a building on such a spectacular spot can't be brought back into use. Would make spectacular offices and there's plenty of parking. They did a splendid job of keeping the (rather impressive) opera house cool. Cast brilliant, orchestra (BSO) rather special. With the exception of the five brass players who, not playing for the first 20 mins of Onegin, rocked up late and filed into the pit looking sheepish. The only negative is the use of the well-documented Teutonic Benidorm tactic of picnic spots reservation; people bag the best benches by putting their blanket and their cool box on the bench overlooking the lake. Then feck-off for three hours and we plebs are supposed to just suck it up. The park-bench version of the second home. Well, I didn't just suck it up, I sat on their basket of breads and put the cool box in the sun. Toi toi toi.

翻译：去那里是为了参加格兰奇歌剧节。路上的指示牌不太好，导航把我带到离大门大约500米的地方。完全没想到里面的建筑已经破败不堪。真让人纳闷，这么壮观的地段，为什么不能重新利用起来呢？改成办公楼肯定很棒，而且停车位也很多。他们把（相当壮观的）歌剧院降温做得非常出色。演员阵容强大，乐团（波士顿交响乐团）也相当精彩。除了五位铜管乐手，他们在《奥涅金》的前20分钟没有演奏，迟到了，尴尬地走进乐池。唯一不足的是，他们采用了众所周知的德国式贝尼多姆野餐区预订策略；人们把毯子和冷藏箱铺在湖边最好的长椅上，然后扬长而去三个小时，我们这些平民就只能默默忍受。这简直就是公园长椅版的“第二个家”。我可没忍着，我直接坐在他们的面包篮上，把冷藏箱放在太阳底下晒。咿咿咿。
