On November 14 1987, a promising conductor called Simon Rattle made his Berliner Philharmoniker debut with Gustav Mahler’s Sixth Symphony. Mahler’s multifaceted work is again on the programme when Sir Simon appears for the last time as chief conductor of the Berliner Philharmoniker. Sir Simon Rattle’s Farewell Concert will be broadcast live with exclusive interviews and programme insights featured as part of this historic event.
Glyndebourne Live
Madama Butterfly, 210mins. Thursday June 21 at 6:30pm.
Praised by critics as a “thoughtful, provocative staging” and a “scathing study of exploitation”, Annilese Miskimmon’s production updates the action to the 1950s. This post-war setting brings to the fore the darker elements of Puccini’s story. Little wonder that this opera has inspired numerous contemporary adaptations and reimaginings, including the hit musical Miss Saigon. The cast includes Olga Busuioc, Elizabeth DeShong, Joshua Guerrero, Michael Sumuel and François Piolino. Featuring the London Philharmonic Orchestra with The Glyndebourne Chorus.

Amore – My Tribute to Love, live from Maastricht on Sunday July 8 at 3pm. Tickets: adults £20, members and concessions £18, children 14 and under £12.50
One of the most popular live acts in the world, the King of the Waltz André Rieu has announced that his 2018 Maastricht concerts will be screened in more than 2,000 cinemas worldwide across the weekend of July 28-29, as he performs his home-town shows this year with a celebration of love. Amore, My Tribute to Love, is the renowned violinist’s expression of his love for music and for both of his families – his wife and children and of course his Johann Strauss Orchestra, with which he has performed for more than 30 years. It follows on from the release of his album Amore last year, which features his own versions of classic love songs from the worlds of popular and classical music.
Good Morning Britain presenter Charlotte Hawkins hosts the presentation, interviewing fans and soaking up the joyous atmosphere that bursts right through the cinema screen – as well as catching an exclusive chat with André the moment he steps off stage.
