The BBC is to boost its coverage of the arts in what its director general calls its “strongest commitment to the arts in a generation. The arts are for everyone, and from now on BBC Arts will be at the very heart of what we do,” said Tony Hall.
Tate director Sir Nicholas Serota and National Theatre director Sir Nicholas Hytner are among leading arts figures appointed to key consultation roles.
Performances from Glyndebourne and Shakespeare’s Globe will also be aired.
iPlayer coverage will include The Duchess of Malfi, the first production at the Globe’s recently opened Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, that saw former Bond girl Gemma Arterton play the title role. (source)
