LAURA MORAND (Soprano)
THE wonderful success enjoyed by Rutland
Boughton's 'Immortal-Hour' at more than one London theatre must be fresh in the memory of many listeners. It is not too much to call it one of the most popular works of its kind which have ever been produced in our country.
The tale is a very simple one, drawn from old folklore; Etain, a princess of the fairy people, has wandered from her own land among human kind, and Midir, a Prince of her kindred, tries, and at last succeeds, to lure her pack to her own people. This beautiful fairy song is the strain which he sings to her, and which prevails on her to come back.
