This programme is named in honour of Ouida, the pen name of Marie Louise De La Ramme, a popular romantic English novelist who was born in 1839. Ouida took residence at The Langham in London at the age of 28 and lived an extravagant life for four years in the hotel, receiving her notable literary visitors while lying in bed and writing manuscripts by the light of scores of candles, surrounded by masses of purple flowers. Famous for her lavish and theatrically orchestrated parties at The Langham, she would summon whom she wished including all the wits and poets of her time. Some of her most notable works, including “Under Two Flags”, “Idalia”, “Tricotrin” and “Puck” are said to have originated at The Langham.
