The Monday Play: Daughters of Venice

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Don Taylor 's romantic comedy offers a chance to witness the delights of 18th-century Venetian carnival, the assignations, the comedy and the passion concealed by the masks, to the accompaniment of Vivaldi's music written for the girl musicians of the Orphanage of the Pieta. But what happens to those brilliant girls when they grow up and must leave the sheltered world of the convent?
Violinist Jean Bourgeois.
Adapted and directed by Don Taylor
