Production Changes

Previous details associated with this item and date of change.

Date of change: 26 Apr 22 - T1161998836

Prom 9 - The Two Scheherazades

Work:: Prom 9 (S371)

Part of the BBC Proms.

Production:: The Two Scheherazades (T1161998836)

The legend of Scheherazade and her bewitching stories from One Thousand and One Nights are vividly captured in both Rimsky-Korsakov's orchestral suite - a dazzling musical portrait of the East, full of shipwrecks, love scenes and crowded bazaars - and Ravel's sensually beautiful overture, written for a never-completed opera. We're in more familiar landscapes in Sally Beamish's Hive, which traces the life of a beehive across four seasons, starting with the gentle stir and shimmer of winter and climaxing in the swarms, dances and battles of summer. Award-winning Welsh harpist Catrin Finch is the soloist in this world-premiere.

Performer	Catrin Finch (harp)
Company	BBC National Orchestra of Wales
Conductor	Ariane Matiakh
