Ian McQueen 's tough new opera East and West was premiered last July at
London's Almeida theatre.
Dealing with the racial tensions between a Muslim family in exile from Bosnia and a hostile fascist community in Germany, the opera is also a love story set in a brutal world of hatred and enmity.
Recorded specially for this programme, the opera is introduced by Paul Driver in conversation with Ian McQueen
and co-librettist Jonathan Moore.
Almeida Ensemble, conductor David Parry
