Performer: Dame Sarah Connolly

A dramatic staging of two Greek myths, Wayne McGregor’s Jocasta’s Line is an epic production for Norwegian National Opera and Ballet, a truly modern and totally original work.

In a concert taking in music of the Belle Époque and beyond, Dame Sarah Connolly joins the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra in a performance of Chausson’s Poème de l’amour de la mer.

Barcelona’s dazzling modernista concert venue sees guest soloists and orchestras from across the world appear in this year’s season, with highlights almost too many to mention.
