Introduced by Nigel Kennedy

Since its birth in 1983, the Lyons Opera Orchestra has quickly made its mark on the European musical scene. Now, under the baton of its founder and Music Director, John Eliot Gardiner, the orchestra makes its first visit to the Proms.
Continuing the literary strand of this year's concerts, the centrepiece of tonight's programme is Berlioz's Harold in Italy, a richly romantic work inspired by Byron's poem Childe Harold's Pilgrimage. The soloist is
Zoltan Toth, the orchestra's principal viola and a former professor at the National Conservatory in Budapest. The concert begins with Faure's orchestral masterpiece, his suite Pelleas et Melisande.

starring
Sidney Poitier Bill Cosby
In this energetic comedy, Atlanta milkman Clyde and his fast-talking friend Billy plan to take their wives to New Orleans on holiday.
At the same time, they are worried because their lodge, The Sons and Daughters of Shaka, is short of$50,000 for a new meeting place. The resourceful pair conjure up a scheme to raise cash using Clyde's skill as an amateur hypnotist, but fall foul of a gang of bookies and crooks.
Screenplay by RICHARD WESLEY Produced by MELVILLE TUCKER Directed by SIDNEY POITIER
