Thursday 16 February 2006 17:00-19:30 (Radio 3)
A busy programme with an operatic flavour tonight; baritone Thomas Hampson and soprano Violeta Urmana come in to talk about their forthcoming appearances in Verdi's Macbeth at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden. Live music comes from violinist Viviane Hagner as she and conductor Jonathan Nott prepare for their concert with the BBC Symphony Orchestra this weekend and a trio of some of the UK's most exciting young singers Elizabeth Atherton, Ailish Tynan and Matthew Rose sing excerpts from the new Welsh National Opera production of Mozart's Le Nozze di Figaro.
