Looking ahead to Longborough's 2025 season, which will include the UK premiere of Wahnfried - Avner Dorman's opera about the Wagner family - and a new production of Debussy's post-Wagnerian masterpiece Pelléas et Mélisande, Longborough's Artistic Director Polly Graham talks about these works, and their relationship with the oeuvre of Richard Wagner. Polly is joined by conductor Justin Brown, and Ring cycle conducting fellow Harry Sever, who offers illustrations of the exquisite orchestral interludes from Pelléas.

Internationally acclaimed dramatic soprano Rachel Nicholls, who last appeared at Longborough in the celebrated 2022 production of Die tote Stadt, sings from Debussy's Proses lyriques, an excerpt from Dorman's opera Wahnfried, a song from Korngold's Abschiedslieder and the famous Mariettas Lautenlied from Die tote Stadt.

This was recorded live at the 2024 festival.
