: Live from the Met: Die Walküre
In the most human of the four operas which make upWagner's Ring cycle, the incestuous love between the twins Siegmund and Sieglinde spells the beginning of the end for their father, the god
Wotan. Tom between his love for his son and his duty as a god, Wotan finally abandons Siegmund - but not before his Valkyrie daughter
BrCinnhilde has disobeyed her father and tried to protect Siegmund.
Brunnhilde's punishment is to be put to sleep on a rock surrounded by fire.

6.35 Desert Song
Hundreds of miles from the Met, in the foothills of the Sangro di Cristo mountains in New Mexico, lies one of America's most unusual and successful companies - Santa Fe
Opera. Built on the site of an old ranch (its auditorium is partially open-air), Santa Fe has a tradition of staging both new and neglected operas which stretches back to its inaugural season in 1957, when Stravinsky himself presided over performances of The Rake's Progress.
Joanne Watson heads south to investigate.

About this project
This site contains the BBC listings information which the BBC printed in Radio Times between 1923 and 2009. You can search the site for BBC programmes, people, dates and Radio Times editions.
We hope it helps you find information about that long forgotten BBC programme, research a particular person or browse your own involvement with the BBC.
Through the listings, you will also be able to use the Genome search function to find thousands of radio and TV programmes that are already available to view or listen to on the BBC website.
There are more than 5 million programme listings in Genome. This is a historical record of the planned output and the BBC services of any given time. It should be viewed in this context and with the understanding that it reflects the attitudes and standards of its time - not those of today.
To read scans of the Radio Times magazines from the 1920s, 30s, 40s and 50s, you can navigate by issue.
Welcome to BBC Genome
Genome is a digitised version of the Radio Times from 1923 to 2009 and is made available for internal research purposes only. You will need to obtain the relevant third party permissions for any use, including use in programmes, online etc.
This internal version of Genome, which includes all the magazine covers, images and articles as well as the programme listings from the Radio Times, is different to the version of BBC Genome that is available externally/to the public. It is only available inside the BBC network.
