Tom Service is joined by music critic Fiona Maddocks and theatre critic Michael Billington to review the British composer Julian Anderson's first opera, Thebans, based on Sophocles and directed by Pierre Audi at English National Opera. Tom meets the world famous flautist Sir James Galway, now in his seventy fifth year, and talks about his career and what the future may have in store. Continuing our series of Just the Two of Us - mother and son Anita Lasker-Wallfisch and Raphael Wallfisch discuss the importance of the cello in both of their lives, why Anita didn't want Raphael to be a musician, and what the best piece of advice is that that Raphael has ever received from his mother. There's also a report on The Mozart Project, a new interactive e-book that will be updated at least twice a year, giving readers the opportunity to put questions to the authors at the end of each chapter. Tom meets the brains behind the project, and asks if this is the start of a new relationship between reader and content.
