Favourite tunes from the operas on gramophone records
No. 2—' La Bohème'
Presented by Anna Instone
Owing to unforeseen circumstances Anna Instone 's programme of Puccini's La Bohème had to be postponed from November 23 until this afternoon. It may be useful to remind listeners that the story of La Bohème, one of Puccini's most popular operas, is concerned with the lives and vicissitudes of a group of Bohemians in the Latin Quarter of Paris.
Miss Instone, who studied at the Royal Academy of Music under Max Piarni and Theodore Holland , is herself a pianist and composer. For some years now she has played a leading part in BBC gramophone programmes of serious music, and she has been responsible for some of the most interesting illustrated talks that have been put on the air.
