An Evening with Ivor Novello

ملخص

In the 1930s, Ivor Novello wrote a string of musicals that saved Drury Lane from closure and kept the cash tills ringing throughout the 40s and early 50s. This Prom features time-honoured favourites, such as We'll Gather Lilacs, in a tribute to Novello - playwright, composer, actor and silent movie star. Narrated by Simon Callow on stage, with Sir Mark Elder conducting the Hallé, and soloists Toby Spence and Sophie Bevan.
