Sams at the Opera

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

The third in a 15-part series in which Jeremy Sams presents a personal selection of operatic delights. Each programme takes as its starting point an idea from the previous Saturday's Opera on 3. 3: Do They Mean Us?
Ellian MacGregor - one of the heroine's many alter egos in Janacek's The Makropulos Case - inspires a roundup of operatic Britons in operas by non-Britons: from Handel through Mozart to Ravel via kings and queens from Rossini, Donizetti and Saint-Saens - and Verdi's Falstaff.
