BBC Radio 4 - Front Row, Repairing Beirut's museum artefacts, Vivo, DCMS performer Visas

Repairing artefacts damaged in the Beirut port explosion, one year ago today

Repairing artefacts from the Beirut port explosion. We review Vivo, a new cartoon film featuring Lin-Manuel Miranda. DCMS announce rule changes on performer Visas in EU countries.

On the anniversary of the Beirut port explosion, we talk to representatives from both The British Museum and The Archaeological Museum at the American University of Beirut, who are working together to restore eight ancient glass vessels which were severely damaged.

We review Vivo, a new full length cartoon film on Netflix featuring compositions by and the voice of Lin-Manuel Miranda.  Does it reach Hamiltonian levels of greatness or is it a less spectacular creation?

The DCMS has announced that  UK musicians and performers do not need visas or work permits for short-term tours in 19 EU countries. What does this mean for touring performers? Is it all good news and what about those EU member states that haven’t agreed?

Presenter: Tom Sutcliffe
