Blond Eckbert

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

Judith Weir 's new English National Opera commission, directed by Tim Hopkins , is a psychological thriller based on an eerie fairy-tale by Ludwig Tieck. "The central idea," Judith Weir says, "is that what happens to you in childhood matters immensely - explosively - later on" ... as Eckbert and Berthe discover.
Presented by Piers Burton -Page in conversation with the composer.
English National Opera Chorus and Orchestra, conductor Sian Edwards
