of music from the Opera, to be broadcast at 9.53 p.m.
BEFORE the third act of the Valkyrie is relayed from the Royal Opera House this evening, gramophone records chosen from the first and second acts are to be broadcast, with brief explanations of the points in the tale at which they occur. In this way, listeners who know the opera will be reminded of it sufficiently well to hear the third act as the culmination of the whole beautiful work, and those who are not familiar with it will, it is hoped, learn something of its beauty, and gain a more coherent sense of the story than would be possible if the third act broke in without any introduction.
