Donald Macleod explores Vaughan Williams's works on Elizabethan and Tudor themes.

Donald Macleod explores Vaughan Williams's works on Elizabethan and Tudor themes as well as the chequered performance history of his operas.

The experience of working with the RSC on the music for a number of plays in 1913 sowed the seeds for Vaughan Williams's Falstaffian opera Sir John in Love. This, like most of his operas, was first produced by amateurs, as opportunities for an English composer to get an opera performed were almost non-existent in the early 20th century. With Donald Macleod.

Donald Macleod surveys Vaughan Williams's operas, a neglected area of his work

Chris Bowlby visits the Victorian cotton capital to discover how its buildings evoke the confident period when Manchester liberalism became the dominant ideology.

As the middle classes prospered, free trade and dissent achieved architectural, as well as social and political, status. Local luminaries, such as Halle, Mrs Gaskell and Engels, also decisively shaped the way later generations have thought about capitalism and how we consume culture today.
