The third programme in a series in which the world-famous opera producer Carl Ebert works on scenes from Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro with students, and young professional singers.

"Anybody who thinks that art is an ivory-tower should look in when this young septuagenarian returns... it's worth it to see just how great life ran be" (Daily Mirror)
"An essay in perfection... fascinating and compelling" (Daily Mail)
"A teacher as richly human and magnetic as Casals, Menuhin, and Tortelier" (The Times)

Tonight's programme includes the duet for Susanna and Cherubino, 'Be quick, unlock the door now', and part of the Act 2 finale.
