: Eastern Approaches
The last of four programmes in which Roderic Dunnett explores operatic byways of eastern Europe.Psychological Thrillers and Unlikely Heroes. Darker hues predominate in the east European opera of the early 20th century, encouraged by the Symbolist movement, which inspired such composers as Bartok and Janacek. The series ends with a look at more recent curiosities of Czech,
Hungarian and Polish opera. Family against family, individual against the state, and a May Day twist of sharp political satire to sugar the pill. Including excerpts from Kodaly's
Hary Janos , Krasa's Brundibar and Szymanowski's King Roger. Producer Fiona Shelmerdine

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.
