Jeremy Sams presents a personal selection of operatic delights, familiar and unfamiliar, sublime and ridiculous. Each programme takes as its launching pad an idea from Saturday's Opera on 3. 5: Fathers and Daughters. The programme moves from the obedient to the wilfully rebellious (the daughters), from the domineering to the frankly hopeless (the fathers), and from Handel to Puccini via Verdi, whose operatic father/daughter relationships explore the deepest recesses of human emotions.
