How to feel like a monarch of all you survey? Catch the charismatic maestro Guy Noble as he takes you on this VIP tour of music fit for a king, a queen and the heirs apparent in your household. You’ll hear how the Queen of Sheba arrives (spoiler alert: glamorously) thanks to Handel, you’ll be whisked to an imperial dance floor by Johann Strauss II in his Emperor Waltz and you’ll find out whether Henry VIII really composed the tune for Greensleeves – and much more. Whether you’re a republican or a monarchist, you’ll find this a majestic musical treat.
