As a new production of Monteverdi's last opera, The Coronation of Poppea, opens in Cardiff, Sean Rafferty explores the prices of fortune, virtue and love with Sally Burgess and director David Alden. Lord Sainsbury reveals the CD he would like to unwrap at Christmas.
And music tonight includes Barber's Adagio for Strings and Liszt's Piano Concerto No 1 in E flat.
