Opera on 3

Robert Lepage directs a new production of Stravinsky's neoclassical opera, based on the story behind a set of engravings by the British painter and satirist William Hogarth, and featuring a libretto by the poet WH Auden. The story centres on Tom, a young country man, and his path to ruin because of the malign influence of Nick Shadow, who appears out of nowhere, offering to help him. Presented by Ivan Hewett.
