Giacomo PUCCINI Lettre autographe signée inédite à un commissaire

Giacomo PUCCINI

Lettre autographe signée inédite à un commissaire

Boscolungo 29 août 1903, 11,2x18cm, 2 pages sur 2 feuillets.


Unpublished autograph letter signed by Giacomo Puccini to a patron; two pages written in black ink on two leaves.
Leaves uniformly shaded, traces of former pasted mounts on verso.
A photographic reproduction of the famous composer's portrait is enclosed.
Puccini responds to a patron's request to have La Bohème performed at a charity event: "Io non ho niente in contrario che la Bohème venga eseguita per una sera corta a scopo benefico." [I have no problem with La Bohème being performed for a charity event]. "Credo pero che sarebbe bene avere anche la adesione della Casa Ricordi proprietaria dello spartito." [I believe, however, that it would be good to have the authorization of Casa Ricordi [Puccini's publishing house], owner of the score].
Despite the failure of the first performance on February 1, 1896, La Bohème subsequently enjoyed worldwide success, rapidly becoming one of the finest operas in the Romantic repertoire.
A fine tribute to the triumph of one of the greatest composers of the late 19th-century.
