SUNDAY 29 JULYProm 22: Les Musiciens du LouvreTime: 6.30pm - c8.35pm Venue Tickets £6-£27.50 
Broadcasts
Broadcast on BBC FOUR Continuing our Shakespeare theme, Marc Minkowski opens this all-French Prom with Fauré's suite from his incidental music to a 19th-century adaptation of the Bard's love-and-money comedy The Merchant of Venice. Love in many forms features in the poems by Théophile Gautier which Berlioz had earlier set in Les nuits d'été, his groundbreaking orchestral song-cycle. A decade before Bizet created a storm with Carmen, he captured the colour of the Provençal town of Arles in his incidental music to Daudet's play – from which we hear a rare, extended selection.
