Mozart's Symphony No 29

Mozart was just eighteen years old when he wrote his 29th Symphony, the work which is regarded by many as a turning point in his development as a composer. Charles Hazelwood delves into this landmark symphony with his ensemble Harmonieband, in the lavish surroundings of Greenwich's Old Royal Naval College Chapel.

Mozart the Dramatist

"I have only to hear an opera discussed, I have only to sit in a theatre and hear the orchestra tuning their instruments - oh, I am immediately beside myself." (Mozart to his father, Oct 1777)

Mozart lived and breathed opera - it was his passion. Cliff Eisen tells the story of this passion, from Mozart's earliest compositions (his first opera La finta semplice, composed at the age of 12) to his late masterpieces, and reveals how opera influenced his orchestral and chamber music, showing he was a dramatist in every genre.

Readings by Simon Callow.

The Wire

Not Talking

By Mike Bartlett.

What happens to a relationship when it becomes impossible to talk? What happens when the system does not allow us to speak? Mike Bartlett explores the corrosive power of silence through his grandfather's experiences as a conscientious objector in the Second World War, and a contemporary story from the armed forces. Richard Briers and June Whitfield star in this provocative and touching play.

James ...... Richard Briers
Lucy ...... June Whitfield
Mark ...... Carl Prekopp
Amanda ...... Lyndsey Marshal
