8.15 EVENING PROGRAMME: "Music from the Theatre" The opera "Orpheus and. Euridice," by Gluck (Act 1) The action takes place in Greece, in the Nether Regions and the time is Antiquity. Euridice has been bitten by a serpent and is dead. Her husband, Orpheus, sadly weeps at the tomb. The God of Love takes pity on Orpheus and tells bim that he may descend into Hades and seek the shade of Euridice in Pluto’s dark kingdom. But there is one condition. Orpheus, if he would bring his bride back to the upper regions again, must return to earth without looking at her face. Orpheus, with his lute, wins admission through the gates of Hades and in the Valley of the Blest he finds his Euridice. He prays her to

follow him, but he never looks at her face. She follows him out of the valley and Orpheus still leads her upwards, never turning his face. In a cave, almost in sight of the Land of the Living, she cries out and ‘weeps because Orpheus is so_indifferent to her. At last he can resist no longer, and turning gazes on the face of his beloved who sinks lifeless to the ground. Orpheus is about to kill himself when the God of Love, who has watched the scene, appears and, touched’ by Orpheus’s suffering, waves his hand and brings Euridice to life again. 8.45 Reserved. 9.0 NBS Newsreel: A digest of the day's news. 9.145 BBC News Commentary, by George Slocombe. 9.25 Dominion and district weather reports and station nolices. 9.28 "Orpheus and _ Euridice" (continued) 10.10 Close of normal programme. 11.0 NEWS FROM LONDON, followed by meditation music 11.30 CLOSE DOWN BV CHRISTCHURCH 1200 kc. 250m. 6.
