    Press Service British Broadcasting Corporation BBC Scotland Press Office 40 Pacific Quay, Glasgow, G51 1DA Tel: 0141 422 6381 Fax: 0141 422 7900 11 May 2011 Much Ado About Music A night of theatrically inspired words and music featuring the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra and a semi-staged version of Much Ado About Nothing Shakespeare's irresistible comedy Much Ado About Nothing forms the centrepiece of an evening of theatre and music at Glasgow City Halls on Saturday 28 May. The BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra (BBC SSO) is joined a trio of leading actors [to be announced] and students from the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama in an abridged performance of Shakespeare’s play featuring incidental music by one of Hollywood’s most celebrated composers, Erich Korngold. A story about reluctant lovers Benedick and Beatrice who are deceived by the malicious hands of Don John, Much Ado About Nothing is one of Shakespeare’s most popular comic plays and is directed for this performance by Jonathan Best. A pioneer in film composing, Erich Korngold is most famous as the composer of rapturously romantic film scores to swashbucklers Robin Hood, The Sea Hawk, and The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex, and his scores have been recognized ever since as classics of their kind. Berlioz's operatic version of the play, Béatrice et Bénédict, famous for its rousing overture, opens the show and there's a chance to hear orchestral extracts from Humperdinck's rarely performed Königskinder (The King's Children), a fairy-tale opera from the composer of Hansel and Gretel.
