An opera in one act words and music by GRACE WILLIAMS based on Maupassant's short story En Famille
This is the first opera written by Grace Williams , though you might not think so to hear it. This 63 -year-old pupil of Vaughan Williams and Egon Wellesz has always been known chiefly as a composer of orchestral and chamber music. A native of Glamorgan, she writes music as profoundly but unselfconsciously Welsh as Elgar's is English: and her gift for melody makes her one of the few composers writing today whose operas don'spell ruin for the box-office
WELSH NATIONAL OPERA CHORUS CITY OF BIRMINGHAM SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA leader FELIX KOK conducted by BRYAN BALKWILL Produced by JOHN MOODY
(A performance given by the Welsh National Opera Company at the Odeon Theatre, Llandudno: broadcast on 6 November 1966)
The action takes place In a small seaport town towards the end of the nineteenth century Scene 1 A shabby-genteel Victorian living-room
Entr'acte: A street corner
Scene 2 The Living-room transformed into an ornate parlour
