Knight Crew Opera on BBC
The BBC Two Series Gareth Malone Goes to Glyndebourne starts tomorrow night at 9pm. The three part series follows the making of the Knight Crew Opera as the show recruits and rehearses with the Knight Crew, Danny and Mothers’ Choruses.
Knight Crew is a modern retelling of the Arthurian fables, based on the book by Nicky Singer. After a gang feud claims its first life, violence escalates. But then the prophetic words of a strange old baglady start to come true, and Art and the girl he loves have one chance to make good, one chance to bring honour and peace to a murderous world. Fierce, tender and unflinching, Knight Crew breathes the passions of ancient legend into a contemporary wasteland - passions that can either create or destroy.
For more behind-the-scenes insights into the making of the opera, you can watch the programme on iPlayer for 7 days after the show has been broadcast.
