Relayed from the Royal Opera House, Covent
Garden
LAST week Mr. Percy Scholes devoted his talk in the series ' New Friends in Music ' to
Eusene Goossens , referring particularly to this opera.
He pointed out that the production of a new opera by one of the younger English composers during the International season of the Royal
Opera, Covent Garden, is something of an event in the history of our native music.
The libretto of the opera, as listeners will remember, is adapted from Mr. Arnold Bennett s
'Judith'-a striking tale rich in dramatic situations.
