Billy Budd - Opera on 3 Saturday 26th January 2013 - 6.00 p.m.

[Eine Alpensinfonie]

Britten's Billy Budd in a recorded performance from 2012, with Edward Gardner and the ENO.

[Flosshilde]

Given that the programmers have a tendency to schedule two performances of the same piece very close together, suggesting that they don't check the schedules of different programmes, is it coincidental that BaL is covering Billy Budd that morning?

In this instance, I think the BaL may well be a stimulus for the complete opera broadcast.
