From the Royal Albert Hall in London.
Glyndebourne returns to the Proms with a new production of a dramatic masterpiece. With its medieval chivalry and early stirrings of German nationalism, Weber's "grand heroic Romantic opera" - a tale of passion, deceit and final reconciliation - was years ahead of its time and a huge inspiration for later German composers.
Presented by Donald Macleod.
