An opera in one act words and music by GRACE WILLIAMS based on Maupassant's short story En Famille

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
