Private Passions

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

Next week sees the reopening of the Royal Opera House, which closed for rebuilding over a year ago amid financial and political difficulties. Today Michael Berkeley talks to Jeremy Dixon , one of the architects of the restructured House, whose imaginative and welcoming design will, he hopes, encourage more people to use the building. His own musical choices are not focused on opera but rather on chamber and keyboard music, including Gustav
Leonhardt (harpsichord) playing Bach and Ivo Pogorelich (piano) playing Brahms. See the choice on page 134.
Executive producer Wendy Thompson Repeated tomorrow 6.30pm
