Celebrating Puccini
Opera goes to the movies, and movie music comes to life, as the 麻豆社 Concert Orchestra and a glittering array of soloists salute the genius of Puccini.
To mark the 100th anniversary of the death of Giacomo Puccini, one of the greatest ever opera composers, the 麻豆社 Concert Orchestra conducted by Matthew Kofi Waldren presents a special Friday Night is Music Night in which opera goes to the movies, and movie music comes to life. The orchestra is joined by dazzling British opera singers Anna Patalong and Charne Rochford as well as West End sensation Tyrone Huntley in epic movie themes, arias and showtunes.
Presented by Gareth Malone and recorded at 麻豆社 Maida Vale Studios on 20 September 2024.
