Eastern Approaches

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

Four programmes in which Roderic Dunnett explores some of the operatic byways of Eastern Europe. 1: Patriotism, National Pride and Honour
Verdi and Wagner may have dominated mid-19th-century opera, but what about composers working further afield in Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic? As well as Smetana's dazzling Bartered Bride, today's programme includes excerpts from Dvorak's The Jacobin and operas by Moniuszko and Erkel. Producer Fiona Shelmerdine
