The Opera Hour – series 3/episode 1 (Duets)

Opera singer Richard Scott explores opera through the prism of various themes. Today he takes a look at duets – and not just love duets, but duets of ambition, of lust, of hatred and of a somewhat stiller and sacred nature. With some fine and arousing examples from Monteverdi, Gluck, Handel, Cherubini, Tippett and Cage.
