The same principle should apply for recording the televised opera:

get_iplayer -g --type=livetv "BBC Two"

You may need to specify --livetvmode if you want to user a lower quality 
stream (should default to flashvhigh for BBC2).  You also may want to 
run with the --stop option in order to get a clean shutdown (converts to 
MP4, etc.).   Killing rtmpdump when the programme finishes will leave 
just the .partial.flv file, though that might be good enough for your 
purposes.
