With infectious enthusiasm, humor and no-nonsense insight, Jonathan Miller brings opera to life. This series takes various famous scenes from scratch, rehearsing students from the Royal Northern College of Music in different aspects of opera: the ensemble, the duet, the chorus, the aria, the recitative and the death scene. Excerpts in this episode include the Act II finale from The Marriage of Figaro and a portion of Act III from A Midsummer Night's Dream
