Broadway star Sierra Boggess

Petroc speaks to Sierra Boggess on starring in the 40th anniversary cast of Phantom of the Opera. Peaks play live from their debut album.

From Broadway to the BBC proms, Olivier-nominated actress Sierra Boggess has performed on the world's biggest stages to great acclaim.
She's best known for starring as Christine Daaé in Phantom of the Opera - a role she's performed in the Broadway, the West End and the televised 25th-anniversary concert productions. Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber has said that Boggess is “The best, the best Christine certainly.”
This year, Phantom of the Opera marks four decades of being in the West End. Sierra Boggess joins Petroc in the In Tune studio to chat about playing Carlotta Giudicelli in the special anniversary cast.

Peaks is a new partnership by violinist George Smith and cellist Duncan Strachan, who make up half of the internationally renowned Maxwell Quartet. They play live from their debut album Cladach / Mullach (Shore/Summit) - a musical reflection of folk tales and legends from the Western Isles of Scotland.
