1. Petroc Trelawny

Live from the Royal Albert Hall on the day of the First Night of the Proms, Petroc Trelawny explores the 2023 season.

Live from the Royal Albert Hall on the day of the First Night of the Proms, Petroc Trelawny explores the opening week of the 2023 season: a week of concerts that features Proms favourites Stephen Hough (piano) and Pekka Kuusisto (violin), and the festival debuts of New Generation Artist Maria Duenas (violin) and Mariza, the greatest living exponent of Portuguese fado. Beethoven's Symphony No 9 - performed at the Â鶹ԼÅÄ Proms every year - is paired with Helen Grime's Meditations on Joy, whose three movements are each inspired by a different poem and facet of joy, and 'Orrible Opera explores the stories behind some of opera's best-loved tunes in the company of characters from Horrible Histories.
