Kaleidoscope: The Ego on the Peg

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

"You have the opportunity of surrendering your persona when you play music. You have to hang your ego on the peg when you go into the pit."
Sir Colin Davis leaves the Royal Opera House this season after 15 years with the company. As he prepares for his final production, Fidelio, he reflects with Paul Vaughan on the opera world, the standing of orchestras and his philosophy of music.
(Re-broadcast tomorrow at 4.30pm)
