9.27 "Music from the Theatre" The Opera "Martha," by Flotow Act I. opens at Queen Anne’s Court at Hampton, where the maid-of-honour, Lady Harriet, has grown weary -of the monotony of court life. She seeks adventure and consults her friend, Nancy. They find that in the neighbouring town of Richmond, there is a hiring fair, and decide to dress up as servant girls and visit the fair. At the fair they join the line of servant girls who are waiting to be hired out. Two farmers, Lionel and Plunkett, pass down the line, and are attracted by the beauty of Lady Harriet and Nancy, who give their names as Martha and Julia. They are engaged as servants to Lionel and Plunkett, and jokingly take the money that binds them to the bargain. Too late they find out that the law is very strict and they have to stick to the bargain. Much to the girls’ dismay, they are carried off to the farm house of Plunkett, where they are expected to perform household duties. An amusing situation arises when the girls confess that they have never done any work, and that they have not the faintest idea how to go about it. Martha says that the only thing she can do is sing. Lionel begs her’ to oblige and she sings ‘‘ The Last Rose of Summer." Lionel at once falls deeply in love with her, much to her amusement, for she imagines him to be merely a farmer. Later that night the girls escape and make their way home to Hampton Court. When Lionel discovers their flight he is so overcome with despair that he loses his reason. An investigation proves that Lionel is really the Earl of Derby, and Lady Harriet, now that his rank is equal to hers, decides to return his love. She hits upon a plan to restore his mind. In her private grounds is set up an impromptu fair, with stalls and booths. in exact imitation of the Richmond Fair, Farmers and their wives are all there bargaining for their servant girls. At the appointed time Plunkett ‘leads Lionel through the show and down the ranks of the serving maids, just as he had done on the actual day of the fair. The moment Lionel sees Lady Harriet in her dainty peasant dress he recognises her as the beautiful Martha, whose charms had won his heart. His memory restored, he clasps her in his arms. Nancy likewise yields to Plunkett. 10.30 Close of normal programme 11.0 NEWS FROM LONDON, followed by meditation music 11.30 CLOSE DOWN WELLINGTON _ 840 ke. 357 m. 6.
