More Anna Russell
"| NSIDE every one of us," says Anna, "is a certain stagnant something which is dormant." As President of the Women’s Federation for the Propagation of Music and the Arts, Anna Russell sets out to alter that. "As you know," she says, "we stand for the better things in art, expecting neither reward nor enjoyment." Still clowning with all that is solemn and/or revered in music (which is a good deal), the acid-tongued Anna will soon be taking apart three more musical institutions for the benefit of ZB listeners. Her performances are entitled ]mtroduction (by Women’s Club President), How to Write Your Own Gilbert and Sullivan Opera, and The Ring of the WNibelungs (an analysis). Listeners will be able to judge the standard of the two operatic performances in the light of Anna’s assertion that "the beauty of opera is that you can do anything, so long as you sing it." The Introduction and the Gilbert and Sullivan programmes will be broadcast by 4ZB at 7.30 p.m. on Sunday, February 21, 3ZB at 7.30 p.m. on Sunday, March 7, and later by other ZB stations and 2ZA. The dissection of Wagner’s opera will take place on the same days, but at times to be announced later.
