BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

The Poisoned Kiss Libretto by EVELYN SIHnPE Adapted for radio by URSULA VAUGHAN WILLIAMS This romantic extravaganza, sub-titled
' The Empress and the Necromancer,' is a fairy tale rather than an opera. Composed during 1927-28, it is set to characteristic and charming music, with spoken dialogue.
