39706saying that he has not "yet received the manuscript of the 2nd act of Jean de Nivelle. Please have a brochure corrected and send it to me tomorrow. There is only one or two pages to correct. It's a reversal I think that makes it incomprehensible. I see that nothing has been done today about Lakmé at the theater; Why I know that we could not gather the main artists but why not take advantage of it to make Bazille work carefully with the 3 girls and especially Miss Rémy Before taking a stand on this subject it is necessary that we can judge on a sufficiently learned and well developed thing. Will you tell Carvalho that I ask him that My absence can not be used better and it is even better that this work be done without me." 4 sides 8vo. no place no date Jean de Nivelle is an opera in three acts by Léo Delibes to a French libretto by Edmond Gondinet and Philippe Gille. It premiered on 6 March 1880 at the Opéra-Comique in Paris with the French tenor Jean-Alexandre Talazac in the title role. The story is based on the historical figure Jean de Nivelle a member of the House of Montmorency who refused to join with his father Jean II de Montmorency in supporting Louis XI in his war against Charles the Bold. Jean de Nivelle Lakmé Jeudi 9 Cher ami à Hengel Il est 3 heures. Je vais me rendre au chemin-de-fer ; et je n'ai pas encore reçu le manuscrit du 2ème acte de Jean de Nivelle. Veuillez donc faire rectifier une brochure et me l'envoyer demain. Il n'y a qu'une ou 2 pages à rectifier. C'est une interversion je crois qui rend la chose incompréhensible. Je vois qu'on n'a encore rien fait aujourd'hui de Lakmé au théâtre ; Pourquoi Je sais qu'on ne pouvait réunir les principaux artistes mais pourquoi ne pas en avoir profité pour faire travailler soigneusement avec Bazille les 3 jeunes filles et surtout Mlle Rémy Avant de prendre un parti à ce sujet il est nécessaire que nous puissions juger sur une chose suffisamment apprise et bien mise au point. Voulez bien dire à Carvalho que je lui demande cela. On ne peux mieux utiliser mon absence et il est même préférable que ce travail se fasse sans moi. Voulez-vous bien pour me réjouir dans les brumes de Bruxelles m'adresser au théâtre de la Monnaie demain un mot me disant ce qu'on aura fait à l'opéra comique vendredi et samedi. A dimanche soir Tout à vous Léo Delibes Jean de Nivelle Lakmé Dear friend to Hengel It is 3 o'clock. I am going to the railroad; and I have not yet received the manuscript of the 2nd act of Jean de Nivelle. Please have a brochure corrected and send it to me tomorrow.

233083 pp. of a bifolium. Small octavo. Dated "Thursday morning." In French with translation. <br/><br/>Delibes would like to see his friend to discuss some issue of importance. He also mentions several prominent musical figures in Paris: the baritone Jacques Bouhy; Philippe Gille the co-librettist of Delibes's opera Lakmé; Halanzier a director at the Paris Opera; and Léon Carvalho director of the Opéra-Comique. <br/><br/>"In spite of everything Carvalho wants all the same to go ahead and at full steam. When one speaks to him of waiting. he jumps to the ceiling and does not accept any hesitation. This is very embarrassing." <br/><br/>Slightly worn and creased. "Outside the theatre for which Delibes wrote nearly all his music his most notable work was as a composer of choruses now undeservedly neglected. His output of songs was relatively small and that of instrumental and church music almost negligible. His cantata Alger 1865 attracted much attention at the time but has lain in obscurity since. Despite his poor record at the Conservatoire his workmanship was of the highest order; he had a natural gift for harmonic dexterity and a sure sense of orchestral colour and nothing in his music is out of place. He was a disciplined composer and it is tempting to see in the exquisite pastiche dances that he composed in 1882 for Hugo's Le roi s'amuse not just a sharp ear for style but a genuine feeling for the world of 17th-century French classicism later to be espoused with such ardour by Saint-Saëns d'Indy and Debussy."

271293 pp. of a bifolium. Ca. 161 x 102 mm. Dated "Sunday." On ivory paper. In French with translation.<br/><br/>Delibes discusses a business venture with "our millionaire." He had hoped to see his correspondent the day before at a session of the Exposition jury or a soirée wasn't able to join him at the Opéra-Comique and asks him to give his regards to "Madame Gonzien."<br/><br/>". On Friday I went to meet our millionaire. You have been very kind to him and what I told him about you could only confirm this good impression. But personally he doesn't want to do anything; this is an absolutely firm stance. Only his brewery could benefit from the success of the thing. But he is the principal sponsor and shareholder and promised to 'push the wheel' in your desired direction. "<br/><br/>Slightly worn and soiled; creased at folds; small ink stain to second page affecting one word. "Delibes's workmanship was of the highest order; he had a natural gift for harmonic dexterity and a sure sense of orchestral colour and nothing in his music is out of place.

233364 pp. of a bifolium. Small octavo. Dated Monday evening December 5 between 1883 and 1891. On ivory paper with black borders. In French with translation.<br/><br/>Having returned to Paris Delibes is anxious for news of the second run of his opera Lakmé. Because his correspondent's letter was delivered to the wrong address he has had to seek information elsewhere. Unfortunately another audience member has told him that the tenor and "basse chantante" have weak voices. Delibes suggests they replace the latter with a certain "Monsieur Schmidt" in order to increase ticket sales. In January he and his correspondent will discuss his opera Le Roi l'a dit which premiered at the Opéra-Comique on May 24 1873.<br/><br/>"Unfortunately a more recent letter.tells me that our tenor is always weak as well as the 'basse chantante' i.e. high lyric bass and that the whole weight of the performance rests on Madame Alice Verheyden who alone has some success in the work. I add that these reports do not come from her husband!"<br/><br/>Slightly soiled and foxed; creased at folds. "Delibes's workmanship was of the highest order; he had a natural gift for harmonic dexterity and a sure sense of orchestral colour and nothing in his music is out of place. He was a disciplined composer and it is tempting to see in the exquisite pastiche dances that he composed in 1882 for Hugo's Le roi s'amuse not just a sharp ear for style but a genuine feeling for the world of 17th-century French classicism later to be espoused with such ardour by Saint-Saëns d'Indy and Debussy." Hugh Macdonald in Grove Music Online.<br/><br/>Lakmé is considered the composer's masterpiece. It offers more than just a fine vehicle for a star soprano; the two principal male characters Nilakantha and Gérald are firmly drawn and the music is melodic picturesque and theatrically strong. The opera was first performed at the Opéra-Comique Salle Favart in Paris on April 14 1883. <br/><br/>Delibes's correspondent Miral was perhaps the director of the Théâtre Municipal de Nancy. If this is the case it is quite likely that the production mentioned in this letter took place there. unknown books
