"Public performances forbidden by the police," was the decree issued against this opera’s initial French presentation. The work was condemned, not because of moral scruples, but because it tov trutufully revealed the life of the nobility. This had never before been so clearly portrayed. At that time, only a decade before the Reyolution, government officials were already conscious of gathering storms, and they belieyed that such a production at that time would. serve less as a warning to the Court, than as a. simple’ means of developing resentment against the aristocracy. The inevitable happened: "The Marriage of Figaro" took on the charm: of forbidden fruit. In the place of public performances, private "rehearsals’’ were given, at which, no less a person than Marie Antoinette delighted to be present. ~ This performance features Roy Henderson, Audrey Mildmay, Norman Allin, ConStance Willis and Heddle Nash. It is a Glyndebourne Mozart Festival Production. 10. O Close of normal programme. (During the war, the station will be on the air until 12 midnight.
