Behind the Scenes at the Opera with Ben Gernon
LPO Offstage - Un pódcast de London Philharmonic Orchestra
Categorías:
Every summer, the LPO heads down to Glyndebourne in Lewes, East Sussex for a season as one of the opera house’s resident orchestras. In this episode of LPO Offstage, YolanDa meets conductor Ben Gernon ahead of the evening’s performance of Donizetti’s opera ‘The Elixir of Love’. As Ben and YolanDa chat about what it’s really like to conduct an opera, they wander through the opera house, the famous pit, gardens, backstage and Ben’s dressing room, stumbling upon a giant cake, the wig room, and the piano tuner… Plus, a listener asks about Ben’s ‘funniest mistake’, and Ben gives his top piece of advice for tackling nerves (with only 30 minutes to go before he goes on stage!). If you would like to get in touch with your own question about anything to do with classical music, please email [email protected] and you could feature on a future podcast…Produced by Tandem Productions for the London Philharmonic Orchestra.
