Performance NotesThe appearances of John Wilson and his orchestra have become one of the annual highlights of the Proms.

Following the enormous success of the staged performance of My Fair Lady in 2012, John Wilson returns to perform Cole Porter's Tony Award-winning musical Kiss Me, Kate in its original 1948 arrangements. He is joined by a cast of leading singers in this irreverent reworking of The Taming of the Shrew - a play within a play.

The concert was recorded and broadcast on BBC Two in December 2014.
The event was broadcast on BBC Radio 3.

There was no interval.

All primary performers were Proms debut artists.
