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.

Yet at the time its significance appeared altogether more profound. For the cinema industry itself, the intervention of local authorities appeared the latest in a series of challenges that had threatened the viability of commercial film exhibition. During the war, cinema’s impact on the moral character of its predominantly young audience had been subject to prolonged critical scrutiny, while, at the height of the conflict, the imposition of taxation on admissions, the introduction of Daylight Saving, and the use of large theatres to screen profitable ‘super’ films suggested that cinema’s place in the provision of entertainment was far from secure.3 Municipal meddling further aggravated such concerns, to the extent that in 1 Included were towns in the central belt such as Paisley, Falkirk, and Kirkcaldy, Entertainer and Scottish Kinema Record [ESKR], 27 Mar.
