GG: Majesty in Mantua

["Junichi Miyazawa" <walkingtune@bigfoot.com>]

A question on a GG letter for translation (the Japanese edition).

Letter to Ronald Wilford dated ca. January 1968:

". . . Beginning February 4th [, 1968] and for seven 
consecutive Sundays thereafter I'm functioning as 
on-camera host and continuity writer for a festival 
of music films (mostly foreign) including 
'Majesty in Mantua' from  the BBC, 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
and the good Dr.von K.'s 'New World.'"

According to the footnotes of the French edition,
the TV program "Majesty in Mantua" was broadcasted
on February 11, 1968.

Do you know or guess what the program is about?
What does the title mean?

Thank you in advance.

Regards,

Junichi

P.S.  GG mentioned Karajan's "The New World"film
again in the letter to Helen Whitney dated Sept. 3, 1971:

"There are, on the other hand, instances of the successful 
adaptation of orchestral music to the camera and, [...] by 
far the most impressive of these, to my mind, is the 
set of films made with various directors for the Berlin 
Philharmonic with Von Karajan.  In the best of these
--I think of the superb Dvorak 'New World' by 
[Henri-Georges] Clouzot."

I found the film (1966) available as a lazerdisc from
Deutshe Grammophon (Laser Disc 072 282-1 GCE),
so I bought it.  I enjoyed the film.  It might have 
been a "successful adapatation of orchestral music 
to the camera" in 1960's, but these days it looks
a rather old-fashioned.
