Customer Reviews
The beeb at its best
Accessible, informative and succinct. These are wonderful pieces of radio that peel away some of the layers that make opera a mystery to many. You gain an appreciation of the art - the singing, composition, and the story. Lots of contributors including singers, composers and historians. Perfect for a car journey or while lying on a beach.
