|
|
Jan Younghusband, Head of TV Commissioning for BBC Music today announced a
raft of Autumn classical music television commissions across BBC Four for
Channel Editor Cassian Harrison.
The new programmes announced today
include BBC Four’s contribution to a pan-BBC Opera Season with Jonas
Kaufmann, Tenor For The Ages (1x90) by acclaimed filmmaker John Bridcut. The
film follows operatic superstar Kaufmann over two years at a pivotal point
in his career including his return to the stage after some time away from
performing. The programme will give audiences unprecedented access to
Kaufmann alongside intimate performance segments, concert footage and candid
interviews presenting an artist at the height of his career.
As part
of the BBC Opera Season and as a companion piece to the documentary,
Younghusband has also commissioned a performance capture of Keith Warner’s
new production of Otello, at The Royal Opera House (1x150) conducted by
Antonio Pappano and starring Jonas Kaufmann. Alongside these two
commissions, there will also be another helping of Shakespeare with a
broadcast of Brett Dean's critically acclaimed new opera, Hamlet....
