Pianist Jeremy Denk
Sara Mohr-Pietsch talks to pianist Jeremy Denk. A discussion on casting diversity in opera today. Artist Setsuko Ono on how Cage's music inspires her.
Sara Mohr-Pietsch sits down at the piano with American pianist Jeremy Denk as he illustrates his passion for Bach's Goldberg Variations and his other favourite composers, Beethoven, Ives and Ligeti. We visit a new exhibition by Japanese artist Setsuko Ono who talks about how she's inspired by the music of John Cage, having met him as a teenager. Also, a discussion on casting diversity in opera, as raised by the pulled production of Peter E枚tv枚s's The Golden Dragon last year. Director Penny Woolcock, David Sulkin from the National Opera Studio and actor and director Daniel York from the actors' union Equity, take part. And Sara talks to three of the founding members of a new initiative called SWAP'ra, - Support for Women and Parents in Opera - which seeks better conditions for those working in the industry.
