"one of Shakespeare's most popular comic plays"

Music BBC Music is bringing us some more Shakespeare:
"Daniela Nardini heads a quintet of Scottish actors joining the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra in an abridged performance of Shakespeare's irresistible comedy Much Ado About Nothing at Glasgow City Halls on Saturday 28 May. A story about unwilling lovers Benedick and Beatrice, Much Ado About Nothing is one of Shakespeare's most popular comic plays, and features incidental music written by one of Hollywood's most celebrated composers, Erich Korngold, performed by the BBC SSO.
It's being recorded for broadcast later on BBC Radio 3. Hopefully, like the previous Mendelssohn A Midsummer Night's Dream experiment, it'll also appear on television.
