Following the success of our previous visit to the West End and Broadway (December 2023 with Clare Teal), I conducted the BBC Singers, BBC Concert Orchestra, and Bantom of the Opera in a concert featuring best-loved musicals at Milton Court on Sunday 10 May.
The show will be broadcast as Friday Night is Music Night on 4 July 2025. Listen here.
Here’s a clip from the rehearsals: “I Could Have Danced All Night” from My Fair Lady, by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe, sung by Emma Tring.
