A Price Worth Paying: 1: A Place for Opera

on BBC Radio 3

Another chance to hear the five-part series broadcast last year in which Sir John Drummond examines the state of opera in Britain since the Second World War.

Today he talks to the Earl of Harewood and Sir John Tooley, both former administrators of London's two main opera houses, about the postwar consolidation of the Royal Opera House, the creation of English National Opera and the setting of standards at Glyndebourne.
