2518810 January 1993 with address label of ‘ERIC CROZIER OBE / 4 THE TIMBERYARD / GREAT GLEMHAM / SAXMUNDHAM / SUFFOLK’. See his entry in the Oxford DNB. 1p foolscap 8vo. In fair condition lightly aged and creased. Folded twice for postage. The address is printed on a small golden label affixed at the top left corner. Addressed to ‘Dear Mr. Catry’ and signed ‘With all best wishes - and thank you for writing! / Sincerely / Eric Crozier.’ He asks him to forgive a typed letter as he is ‘convalescing from a heart-attack and still not very good at hand-writing. / The opera I must enjoyed producing was I suppose my very first - Smetana’s THE BARTERED BRIDE in 1943 in a new English version made by Joan Cross and myself which stayed in the repertoire at Sadler’s Wells and Covent Garden for twenty years.’ He recalls that it was first staged ‘during the black-out to audiences starved of colour and gaiety: our first audience included the Czech government in exile - President Benes Jan Masaryk and others - and on the second night they took the whole theatre for their fellow-countrymen to see what all Czechs regarded as their national opera’. The rest of the letter concerns his next production Britten’s ‘Peter Grimes’ ‘a world-wide event’ premiered at Sadler’s Wells in 1945 ‘and one year later I staged the American premiere with Leonard Bernstein as conductor at Tanglewood. I worked with Britten and Montagu Slater the librettist throughout the writing and composition of that great work which has had I would guess a greater international success than any other English opera all through the past fifty years. It is still being staged - Rostropovich will conduct performances of it at the Barbican this March.’ 10 January 1993, with address label of ‘ERIC CROZIER, OBE / 4 THE TIMBERYARD / GREAT GLEMHAM / SAXMUNDHAM / SUFFOLK’. unknown
2439115 July 1859. London. Meyerbeer is said to have been the most frequently performed opera composer during the nineteenth century. He encouraged and supported the young Wagner who turned on him viciously later in life. Lady Molesworth née Andalusia Carstairs d.1888 had herself been a professional singer. She was the widow of Sir William Molesworth 1810-55 founder of the London Review and owner under the editorship of John Stuart Mill of the Westminster Review. Regarding the present item Meyerbeer notes in his diary for Sunday 17 July ‘Big dinner and musical soiree at Lady Molesworth’s.’ Sir Charles Santley recalls in his reminiscences ‘singing for Meyerbeer at a party at Lady Molesworth’s house’ in order to reassure him that he was up to the part of Hoel in Chorley’s English version of ‘Dinorah’. 1p 12mo. On recto of first leaf of a bifolium. In fair condition lightly aged and folded four times for postage. Blot at top right-hand corner in same ink as note. Reads: ‘Meyerbeer présente ses respectueux hommages à Mylady Molesworth & se rendra avec autant d’empressement que de plaisir à l’aimable invitation de Mylady pour dimanche prochain / Londres 14 Juillet 59.’ See image. 15 July 1859. London. unknown
20494No place. Dated 1942. There has been a recent resurgence of interest in Mona Inglesby and her International Ballet 1942-1951. In 2008 Kay Hunter published a study of the troupe titled 'Ballet in the Blitz'; then in 2012 BBC Radio 4 aired a documentary about Mona Inglesby and International Ballet titled 'Black-Out Ballet: The Invisible Woman of British Ballet'. The writer of the documentary Ismene Brown gave the following explanation of her motives: 'In 2006 an elderly dancer died in Bexhill-on-Sea Sussex. She was 88 and had once been one of Britain's most recognised ballerinas. Why did she die in obscurity Why is the great ballet company that she ran now a forgotten name This was what I set out to explore in a BBC Radio 4 documentary which aired yesterday. Inglesby's story has the improbability of an epic. As a very young woman she defied wartime conditions to launch a major ballet company which introduced the British public en masse to grand ballet. She was also nothing less than the saviour of the most precious texts in all classical ballet. A mounting sense of injustice caused the last remaining dancers of her company now in their eighties and nineties to try to get some amends for Inglesby before they too were gone.' The scenery and costume designs of International Ballet are at Harvard. The present item is on one side of a 12mo piece of paper. It is in good condition lightly aged and spotted. Half way down the page slightly to the right of centre is the large firm signature in red ink of 'Mona Inglesby 1942.' Arranged above and below this in two loose columns and in a variety of different-oloured inks are the other 23 signatures: 'Thelma Fabian Anne Negus Joan Harris later ballet director for The Norwegian National Opera and Ballet and founder and first director of The Norwegian National Ballet School Anglela Bayley <Eileen> Ward.
