Two very different sets of guests join Sean for today's programme: English Touring Opera perform live in the studio as they prepare to embark on a tour of Puccini's Tosca and Janacek's Jenufa. Then contemporary music group Icebreaker bring us bang up to date with a selection of music from Philip Glass, Michael Gordon and Richard Craig. With Sean Rafferty.
