1 a period or event that comes between two others and is different from them:
The ensemble consisted of eight actors presenting eight 'cases' every night, linked by short non-verbal interludes (a remnant of the original script).
The sections in bold - the introduction, bridge, interludes and coda - remained virtually unchanged from the 1937 original.
Recall that they have chosen to place the technical material in a series of brief interludes.
As it happens, these interludes are models of clear exposition.
The insertion into the performance of narratively irrelevant elements such as solo and co-operative routines or lazzi, or even mimetic interludes, was also commonplace.
Although the demand for visual spectacle was satisfied by these interludes, the word 'divertissement' or 'diversion' does an injustice to scenes so central to the progress of the plot.
In the performance these characters are separated by musical interludes sung by the lead female singer and the women's chorus, accompanied by a group of drummers.
The chief reason for this is the undisguised use of the international interludes for bravura displays of technical knowledge, whether of international law, of conspiracy theories, or diplomatic protocol.
