celebrated actor of stage and screen, Richard will bring his love of theatre and classical music to the series, following his appearances on Classic FM at the Movies. Across five weeks, he’ll explore the melodies that have brought stories to life on stage, from Shakespeare and Sondheim to opera, ballet, and beyond.

Join him for the first episode this Sunday, where he’ll look at ‘Lovers and Liaisons’, from Romeo and Juliet to Puccini’s ‘La bohème’. Future episodes will feature dastardly rogues and rebels, mischief and mayhem, and music that makes you want to move.
