Opera Gala from Stoke-on-Trent
Operatic favourites from the BBC Philharmonic in Stoke-on-Trent, celebrating the city's centenary.
Live from the Victoria Hall, Hanley
Presented by Tom McKinney
Tom McKinney returns to the city of his childhood, and the hall where he heard his first concerts, to present a special Friday Night is Music Night celebrating the centenary of Stoke-on-Trent becoming a city.
He and the BBC Philharmonic, regular visitors to this beautiful hall, are joined by three star singers, all nurtured by the BBC's New Generation Artist scheme, for an evening of operatic favourites; music of high drama, lush orchestral texture and infectious melody.
