16 July: The Week's Best BBC Proms
Symphonies at the heart of classical music and inventive new sounds herald the first whole week of Proms
Glyndebourne Festival Opera brings Debussy's opera Pelléas et Mélisande to the Proms, conducted by Robin Ticciati (pictured), with an all-star lineup, including Christina Gansch as Mélisande and John Chest as her lover Pelléas. This semi-staged production of the luminous tale of desire and power will be a highlight in this year's centenary Debussy celebrations.
