Joyce DiDonato, Sona Mohapatra, Kate Tempest

'I am all about bringing this to the people' - opera star Joyce DiDonato

Superstar soprano Joyce DiDonato discusses bringing some lesser-known opera arias into focus on her new recording, Stella Di Napoli. We look at the Argentinian box office movie hit Relatos Salvajes - Wild Tales - co-produced by Pedro Almodovar. Anton Corbjin, director of A Most Wanted Man, describes working with the late great actor Philip Seymour Hoffman on this, his last film. Upcoming British spoken-word and musician Kate Tempest releases her manifesto for artistic brilliance and performs live. Indian star Sona Mohapatra talks about tastemaking in new Bollywood music. And, Armand Diangienda, founder of the Kinshasa Symphony Orchestra of self-taught musicians, tells us how in the early days they made violins from bicycle cables.
