Britannia at the Opera

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

Joseph Holbrooke Bronwen Roderic Dunnett introduces excerpts from the third opera in The Cauldron of Annwn trilogy, a massive cycle which earned
Holbrooke the nickname
"the Cockney Wagner". His dark and rich sound-world echoes the Welsh myth which provides the narrative in a world of druids and chieftains, where romance and jealously abound, but old blood insults prove even stronger.
