| Performance Notes | From dying divas and spellbinding sorceresses to ghosts and generals, join us for a high-decibel dive into the Horrible History of Opera.
Experience the very best of musics biggest, bloodiest and most dramatic genre, and discover the stories behind some of operas best-loved tunes in the company of your favourite Horrible Histories characters, in the 30th-anniversary year of the books by Terry Deary, illustrated by Martin Brown. Join the English National Opera Chorus and Orchestra for this specially devised concert experience.
BBC Proms relaxed performances are designed to suit individuals or groups who feel more comfortable attending concerts in a relaxed environment. There is a relaxed attitude to noise and audience members are free to leave and re-enter the auditorium at any point. There will be chill-out areas, where spaces are made for anyone needing a bit of quiet time before or during the performance.
The event was broadcast on BBC Radio 3 and BBC television.
The Prom had a BSL (British Sign Language) interpreter. |
