Workshop

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Solti rehearses Don Juan by Richard Strauss
with the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden
Led by John Ludlow
and discusses the work with John Culshaw.

This 'tone poem', written when Strauss was only twenty-four, established him immediately at the forefront of his art. Intense, passionate, full of exuberance and colour, Don Juan remains one of the supreme achievements of the romantic imagination.
(Georg Solti and the Royal Opera House Orchestra appear by arrangement with the General Administrator, Royal Opera House Covent Garden)
