Excerpts from "The Magic Flute" by MozartTranslation by E. J. Dent
Characters introduced
Three Ladies of the Queen of Night
Three Genii or Spirits
The BBC Theatre Orchestra, Leader, Tate Gilder, Conductor, Stanford Robinson
Programme introduced by F. H. Grisewood
Here is a schools programme of unusual interest: a whole half-hour of excerpts from what is probably the most delightful of all Mozart's operas.
The plot of "The Magic Flute", though mainly serious, has plenty of humorous interludes. The hero, Tamino, is trying to enter the Temple of Wisdom, while the wicked Queen of Night, assisted by her ladies and the Moor, Monostatos, does her best to prevent him. Tamino, who has a comic servant, the bird-catcher Papageno, is helped by three genii who give him a magic flute that brings him help in time of need.

on gramophone recordsAbout this project
This site contains the BBC listings information which the BBC printed in Radio Times between 1923 and 2009. You can search the site for BBC programmes, people, dates and Radio Times editions.
We hope it helps you find information about that long forgotten BBC programme, research a particular person or browse your own involvement with the BBC.
Through the listings, you will also be able to use the Genome search function to find thousands of radio and TV programmes that are already available to view or listen to on the BBC website.
There are more than 5 million programme listings in Genome. This is a historical record of the planned output and the BBC services of any given time. It should be viewed in this context and with the understanding that it reflects the attitudes and standards of its time - not those of today.
To read scans of the Radio Times magazines from the 1920s, 30s, 40s and 50s, you can navigate by issue.
