It is one of the most extraordin-art-works ever written, and even to the present time no work. has been produced that can approach it, even although severe years have elapsed since Wagner commenced to write it. ‘he theme is Love-a terrible satisfied and insatiable love that must wreck all obstacles in its path, even if those obstacles constitute the lovers themselves. Tristan, a Cornish Knight of royal birth, has fought successfully in Ireland on behalf of his uncle, King Mark of Cornwall. He Brings Isolda, an Irish princess, as an unwilling bride for the king, but discovers that he himself loves Isolda. They hide their love, and her marriage with the king is carried out. But the lovers cannot be denied. During one of their secret meetings the king surprises them, and one of his followers stabs Tristan, who will not defend himself. The great Third Act, half or which will be presented this evening, comes as a fitting climax to the opera. Nowhere than in this act did Wagner achieve a more vivid expression of deep human emotions. As the act unfolds, the full explanatory story will be told.) 10.0: Close down. 3YA, CHRISTCHURCH (306 METRES)-FRIDAY, JUNE 7%. 8.0: Afternoon session-selected studio items. 4.25: Sports results to hand. 4.30: Close down. 6.0: Children’s session conducted by "Storyman."
