BBC Proms Archive

Check out the newly launched Proms Archive, which you can search by composer, work or artist. My first discovery is that an aria from the work we are doing in Edinburgh next month was first performed in the Proms in 1897:

Wednesday 29 September 1897, 8:00PM

Henry Purcell Indian Queen, Z 630

- Aria 'I attempt from Love's sickness to fly in vain' Act 3

Hirwen Jones tenor


New Queen's Hall Orchestra (1895-1914, Queen's Hall Orchestra)
Henry Wood conductor
