233253 pp. of a bifolium. Octavo. Dated Égreville Seine. et Marne France August 19 1902. In French with translation. <br /> <br /> Raoul Gunsbourg director of the Opéra de Monte-Carlo has told Massenet that his correspondent most probably the tenor Francesco Tamagno will participate in a production of Hérodiade the following March. Massenet hopes the star-studded cast which includes Emma Calvé Blanche Deschampes-Jéhin and Maurice Renaud will sing in French; he coaxes Tamagno to do the same.<br /> <br /> "It is my dream that our friends Mlle. Calvé Mme. Deschamps-Jéhin Mr. Renaud sing in French -- thus I beg you as a personal service to sing in French as well . You can absolutely do it and it will be so interesting so successful!"<br /> <br /> Slightly soiled; creased at folds; green pencilled lines around the sender's address to upper right portion of first page. Tamagno 1850-1905 was the foremost heroic tenor of his time. After his first appearance at La Scala in 1877 he created the title roles in Verdi's Don Carlos 1878 and Othello 1887 among other operas. Although Tamagno usually sang French grand operas in Italian he did indeed make an exception for the 1903 Monte Carlo production of Hérodiade. <br /> <br /> Premiered at the Théâtre de la Monnaie in Brussels on December 19 1881 Hérodiade is generally regarded as the best of Massenet's three attempts at traditional grand opera. The work's strength lies in "familiar Massenet territory: erotic obsession" particularly in the musical characterization of Herod. Until the turn of the century the opera was staged frequently on both sides of the Atlantic. In part because its five leading roles are rewarding to star singers it has never fallen out of the repertory. Rodney Milnes in Grove Music Online. unknown

Excuse me - Reassure me." <br /> <br /> Slightly browned; creased at folds; initials "B.D." embossed to upper portion of leaves. Massenet was "the most prolific and successful composer of opera in France at the end of the 19th century and into the beginning of the 20th. His place in the history of French music is secure for although he is not to be bracketed with Berlioz or Debussy or even Bizet he generously satisfied the tastes of the 'belle époque' and retained his standing as a master of the lyric stage for well over a generation." Hugh MacDonald in Grove Music Online.<br /> <br /> Pauline Viardot 1821-1910 a highly distinguished French singer teacher and composer of Spanish origin "came from a family of singers: her father was the elder Manuel García her mother María Joaquina Sitches her brother the younger Manuel García and her sister Maria Malibran.
