- 1 sound disc (10 min.) : digital; 4 3/4 in.
- Summary
- In this broadcast, the soprano sang Manon's 'Gavotte' instead of 'Ce bruit de l'or' as the Cours la Reine scene was cut, so the Gavotte could not appear in its usual place. The host, Deems Taylor, speaks over the music to alert the radio audience of the plot. Intermissions do not exist for this broadcast.
