2: Communing with Comedy
It is not all heady perfumes and the rustle of silk petticoats in Massenet: he had a well-developed sense of comedy, of both the broad and the sly varieties, and he used it to leaven the sentiment and heavy-breathing drama of even his most serious works. Rodney Milnes introduces excerpts from Chérubin, Cendrillon and Thais.

Susan Marling presents the second of five programmes visting great houses. Designs for Living travels to the USA to see Frank Lloyd Wright 's famous house Fallingwater. Driven by his belief in organic design, and inspired by his desire to create an American architecture, Wright produced a house of the most startling design. The informality of the open plan, and the exposed building materials, have indeed provided a blueprint for much
American domestic architecture.
