: Opera on 3
Mitridate, Re di PontoThe tangled web of love affairs in this opera, composed by Mozart at the age of 14, is inspired by a play of Racine, but the war raging as its backdrop was a historical event. Mithridates VI of Pontus on the Black Sea was a rather nasty king, who fought the Roman Empire for 50 years until his defeat and suicide in 63 BC. This Royal Opera production, directed by Graham Vick is presented by Stephanie Hughes.

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
