Weekend Break

Opera: Passion, Power and Politics - a new exhibition in London goes through 400 years of opera history. It's in collaboration with the Royal Opera House and the BBC. Visitors will listen to music as they walk through paintings, instruments, costumes and films, that take them from the baroque all the way to the contemporary. We also speak to Germany's youngest politician, the 24 year old Philip Amthor of the CDU party. Presenter Anu Anand's guests this week are Isabel Hilton, British journalist and editor of chinadialogue.net, which is the first fully bilingual English-Chinese website devoted to the environment, and Andrew Mueller, Australian born novelist and journalist.
