Penny Gore presents today's Opera Matinee: Polish composer Stanislaw Moniuszko's one act comic opera, Verbum nobile (The Word of a Nobleman). An instant success at its Warsaw premiere in 1861, the opera concerns Zuzia and Michal who have never met, but have been promised to each other by their parents. The couple then meet accidentally and fall in love, but as Michal introduces himself as Stanislaw, Zusia's father refuses to let them wed.
