Schubert on Stage

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

The second of five programmes devoted to Schubert's operas marking the bicentenary of his birth.
David Owen Norris and Schubert biographer Elizabeth Norman McKay introduce Claudine von Villa Bella (Claudine of Villa Bella). This is the one opera where Schubert had a really good librettist - Goethe - but this is also the opera of which two acts were burned for heating during the 1848 revolution. The popular first act does, however, provide some evidence of what may have happened in acts 2 and 3. This performance is a BBC studio recording made in 1978.
