So far, Almaviva is known to Rosina only under the assumed name of Lindoro. After a serenade and an exchange of letters, he disguises himself as a tipsy dragoon, and manages to get into Bartolo’s house by the aid of Figaro, the general factotum. But his scheme is foiled by the entrance of the guard, who arrest the would-be wooer, In the second act he appears as deputy for Basilio, the singing master, said to be sick. In order to gain the Doctor’s confidence, he produces one of Rosina’s letters to himself, declaring that it was given to him by a mistress of Count Almaviva. Bartolo takes the letter, thinking to inflame Rosina’s jealousy by telling the scandal to Rosina, whose disappointment nearly frustrates the Count’s deep-laid scheme. Happily Count Almaviva secures an interview with Rosina, convinces her of his constancy, and induces her to elope before Bartolo has discovered the trick that has been played upen him. 10.40 Close of normal programme 11. 0 NEWS FROM LONDON followed by meditation music 11.30 CLOSE DOWN 2QV/ WELLINGTON 84Qk¢, 357m. 6.
