Synopsis Part of the BBC Proms. Marking the 80th birthday of one of Broadway’s great innovators, this all-Sondheim Prom draws together leading figures of the opera and theatre worlds - plus some further special guests. Bryn Terfel, a magnetic Sweeney Todd, as he proved at the Royal Festival Hall in 2007 - leads a starry cast, joined by aspiring young performers supported by the BBC Performing Arts Fund, which supports aspiring performers for a programme. On the bill are excerpts from horror-opera Sweeney Todd, the Ingmar Bergman-inspired A Little Night Music and the fairy-tale compendium of Into the Woods, as well as excerpts from Company, Pacific Overtures and Sunday in the Park with George. Finish time: approx. 21:30 Broadcast live on BBC Radio 3. Broadcast on BBC Two at 20:00.
