Presented by Sean Rafferty.
Two world class conductors and an operatic tenor.

Conductor Semyon Bychkov and tenor Johan Botha talk about the forthcoming Royal Opera House production of Wagner's Lohengrin - a work with particular resonance for Bychkov; and conductor Gianandrea Noseda discusses the role of Faust in a concert performance of Berlioz's masterpiece "La Damnation de Faust" taking place in Manchester.
