Mozart's La Clemenza di Tito
Act One
Power, friendship and betrayal are the driving forces behind Mozart's final opera seria. As Holy Roman Emperor, Titus wants to be an honourable ruler, but Vitellia plots to gain the throne herself. Sextus is a close friend of Titus, but he is infatuated with Vitellia, and will do anything to gain her love.
Stephanie Hughes introduces this revival by English National Opera which boasts a strong British cast, with Emma Bell and Paul Nilon reprising the lead roles they took in 2005, whilst mezzo-soprano Alice Coote plays the tormented Sextus.

Henry VIII
Lucie Skeaping presents a selection of secular music from the so-called Henry VIII Manuscript. Henry VIII was one of the most remarkable and formidable English monarchs, but the portrayal of Henry as a cantankerous despot has outshone the image of the youthful Henry who was devoted to sports and the arts.
In his 20s and 30s, Henry penned several secular compositions, a variety of partsongs and consorts, 34 of which were compiled in the manuscript. It also included works by several other musicians who passed through Henry's court, such as William Cornysh and Robert Fayrfax.
