From the Royal Albert Hall, London.

The current Glyndebourne production of this work comes to the Proms. The original play by Wedekind was dark and bleak, characterising Lulu as a tragic femme fatale caught in a sordid web of murder and desire, but Berg's music transformed the work with its sumptuous orchestral colour and ravishing vocal line for Lulu herself.

With Patricia Bardon (mezzo), Donald Maxwell (baritone), Stephan Drakulich and Neil Jenkins (tenors), and Jonathan Veira (baritone)
London Philharmonic, conductor Andrew Davis

Act 1

7.30 Michael Berkeley talks to Philip Hensher and Thomas Ades about Berg's opera.

7.50 Act 2

8.50 Berg and Wedekind were among those who shaped the intellectual and artistic character of fin de siecle Vienna. In discussion with Martin Esslin, Professor of Drama at Stanford University, California, Frank Whitford asks what light Lulu sheds on the nature of this society.
