From the Royal Albert Hall, London. Presented by Martin Handley.
The BBC Philharmonic's Italian-born chief conductor Gianandrea Noseda pays tribute to his native land - and continues the Proms cycle of Mendelssohn symphonies - with the sun-drenched work that the 21-year-old Mendelssohn composed while holidaying in Rome. And American mezzo-soprano Vivica Genaux joins the orchestra for Rossini's operatic retelling of the Cinderella story, his third stage-work for Rome's Teatro Valle.
