opera on the BBC big screen

By Catherine Jones on Jun 23, 09 10:00 AM

LIVERPOOL'S BBC big screen will broadcast free live opera tomorrow.

The Clayton Square screen will show Wagner's Die Walkure as part of the European Union's Viva Europa, a cultural flagship event of the 2009 European Year of Creativity and Innovation.
The broadcast comes live from the Palau de les Arts Reina Sofia in Valencia, Spain, to cities across Europe.
Bristol, Manchester, Swansea and Cardiff are also showing the opera.
Die Walkure is the second part of Wagner's four opera cycle Der Ring des Nibelungen and is considered as the most emotionally intense of his epic operas.
The cast is led by Placido Domingo and the screening runs from 6-11pm with two half-hour intervals at just after 7pm and 9pm.
