Wild, furious, eternal: Janáček’s Glagolitic Mass

BBC Proms Opening Night: Weir, Brahms, Liszt and Janáček

Kay Kempin, 15th July

As you round the corner of Prince Consort Road, you raise your head to catch a glimpse of the tip of the Royal Albert Hall dome. But just as you do…SMACK! You’ve collided with a stranger’s back. Reorienting yourself you realise there’s a queue a mile long, winding down the steps outside the Royal Albert Hall and stretching all the way to bus stop down the road.
