La Gioconda, a street singer, who supports her blind mother, La Cieca, and is pursued by Barnaba, a spy, who wishes to possess her, is in love with Enzo, even though he is of noble birth. Barnaba arranges for Enzo and Laura to meet on an island, then he betrays their rendezvous to Alvise and is overheard by La Gioconda. Previously, La Cieca has been accused of witchcraft and would have been killed had it not been for the intervention of Laura to whom La Cieca gave her rosary. Enzo and Barnaba, Laura and, finally, La Gioconda, arrive on the island. The latter is about to stab Laura when she sees her mother’s Sl emek | and desists. Alvise arrives on a vessel just as-Laura and Gioconda leave the island while Enzo burns his ship. Back in Venice Alvise is bent on avenging his honour and arranges to have Laura drink poison. La Gioconda substitutes a sleeping potion so that later at a ball when Alvise draws aside a curtain he reveals a sleeping, though apparently dead, Laura. Enzo is arrested for denouncing Barnaba and, in the general melee, La Cileca is taken off by Barnaba. La Gioconda cries that she will give herself to Barnaba if he will but
spare Enzo’s life. In the last act Enzo comes to La Gioconda and tells her that he only wants to die on Laura’s bier. La Gioconda then tells him that Laura, who has been brought in apparently dead, is only sleeping. Laura awakens and attests her love for Enzo and La Gioconda helps them to depart in safety.

Instead of joining the Navy, however, he went to Cambridge, where he was tried out for the University boat and took his medical degree. After that he served for two years as house surgeon at St. George’s Hospital. All the time, music was pounding in his brain, and in his spare time he studied it with a passion which could not be denied. He held the surgeon’s knife in his hand, but in his imagination he saw a baton. When he formed an amateur orchestra and practised on them, it meant good-bye to medicine. 10.10 Close of normal programme 11.0 NEWS FROM LONDON, followed by meditation musi¢ 11.30 CLOSE DOWN GAY 140k¢. 263m. | 6.
