Beethoven's Christmas Adventure

Hosted by Stephen Fry from the 2016 Bayreuth Festival, Wagner's first opera in the Ring Cycle, Das Rheingold. Wotan: Iain Paterson. Donner: Markus Eiche. Froh: Tansel Akzeybek. Conducted by Marek Janowski.

As Charlie grows closer to the Palestinians, she must also confront the grim reality of their cause. Charlie tells Fatmeh that she wants to fight. She is given a new passport and a special, but very dangerous, mission.

Kurtz and his team are increasingly concerned about Charlie's state of mind - they cannot track her down and they've not been able to talk to her since she returned from Lebanon. Even Becker is worried she may no longer be loyal to their mission. Torn between love of Becker, respect and sympathy for Khalil, and a wavering belief in the righteousness of her quest, Charlie's identity is tested to its very limit.
