[Article] An operatic peak
BBCtv and National Theatre director Bill Bryden recently made his operatic debut with the Royal Opera's new production of Parsifal which comes live from Covent Garden on Saturday (3.55). He says he sees Wagner's marathon religious drama in the direct tradition of the Mystery plays which he staged to great acclaim for the National.

Wasn't choosing Parsifal as his first venture on the operatic stage rather jumping in at the deep end? 'Yes,' says Bill, head of BBC Drama in Scotland. 'It's like starting to learn about mountain climbing when you're half way up Everest!'

Forty years after the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, Mark Geller , Reader in Hebrew at University College, London, presents a documentary about the picture of Judaism and early Christianity now emerging from the many still-unpublished texts.
With leading scholars in the field from the United States, Israel and Britain.
