The Sunday Play: Sunday atSant'Agata

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

By Ronald Frame. An imagined account of one surprising summer's day at
Giuseppe Verdi 's country retreat. The ageing composer intends a quiet
Sunday: a siesta, perhaps a little work on the French translation of his latest opera Falstaff, supperwith his wife on the terrace, a game of billiards and a walk with the dogs before bed. But three surprise visitors disturb his plans.
Director Patrick Rayner
