830 "MUSIC FROM THE THEATRE" The opera "CARMEN," by Bizet, founded on the novel by Prosper Merimee (Act 1) The action takes place in Seville, in Spain, at the beginning of the nineteenth century. The Spanish gipsy, Carmen, lives only for love, After many affairs she is attracted by the sergearit of dragoons, Don Jose. She encompasses him with her wiles and leads him to mutiny and desertion, so that finally nothing remains for him but to join the band of smugglers of which Carmen is a member. His fate is endurable so long as he retains the love of Carmen, but when she turns from him he is sunk in the depths of despair. He is called to the death-bed of his mother, and on returning he finds his still passionately loved Carmen before the arena in Seville, with the bull fighter Escamillo, to whom she has promised her love if he is the victor at the fight. Don Jose approaches her and asks her to return to him. When she coldly repulses him and tries to escape he stabs her to the heart. 9. 0 Daventry news 9.20 Weather report and station notices 9.26 "Carmen" (Acts 2, 3 and 4) 10.39 Close of normal programme.
