223688 February no year. No place. 3pp 12mo. Bifolium. On aged paper with punch hole through both leaves at head small closed cut along bottom edge of first leaf and with paper and part of another letter from an album glued onto the reverse of the second leaf. Folded once. The signature 'M. Massenet' is explained in Massenet's obituary in the Musical Times 1 September 1912 which speaks of 'the composer's known antipathy to the name Jules … He preferred to be called “M. Massenet†simply'. The recipient of this enthusiastic letter is not named. The letter appears to have been written to a man who has sent a portrait of his wife the Swedish soprano Sigrid Arnoldson-Fischhof to Massenet. It begins: 'Cher ami Le portrait est admirable et si ressemblant! L'attention est exquise!' He continues with a reference to 'votre “merveille†de femme' and then writes: 'Nous sommes en voyage Mlle. Massenet & moi et je vais écrire à notre grand ami Hengel.' He ends with a message for 'Mme Arnoldson'. 8 February [no year]. No place. unknown

Some signatures split; small rectangular publisher's handstamp to lower margin of cast list. First Edition.<br /> <br /> First performed in Paris on October 31 1906 under the direction of M. P. Gailhard. <br /> <br /> "Ariane was designed on a grand scale and grandly staged at the Opera in 1906. Catulle Mendès's libretto treats Theseus's flight from Crete with Ariadne as well as her sister Phaedra with whom he falls in love. Its success was largely built on the fourth act in which Ariadne descends to the underworld to plead with Persephone to restore her dead sister. Lucy Arbell from then on to be closely associated with Massenet's operas made a great impression in the role of Persephone especially with her aria 'Des roses des roses' a late addition to the score. The third act in which Ariadne pleads with Phaedra to intercede with Theseus on her behalf is scarcely less touching. Of all the many operas on the Theseus myth this is one of the few to include Phaedra and to dramatize the rivalry of the two sisters for Theseus's love."<br /> <br /> "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."

233301 page. Small octavo. Dated Égreville August 25 1902. In French with translation. <br/><br/>Massenet thanks his correspondent perhaps for performing one of his compositions and promises to send him the score. <br/><br/>"What joy you give me and how fortunate for the work . I am having the score sent to you immediately."<br/><br/>Slightly worn and soiled; creased at central fold. 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."

This edition represents the revised version of the opera issued to coincide with the Paris performance at the Théâtre Italien on February 1 1884.<br/><br/>Based on the story by Gustave Flaubert Hérodiade was first performed in Brussels in the Théâtre de la Monnaie on December 19 1881.<br/><br/>It is generally regarded as the best of the composer'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. Au Ménestrel...

Somewhat worn; moderately foxed; signatures separated; some edges chipped and with small tears; lacking final page of music supplied in photocopy; some bleeding to inscription. First Edition. <br /> <br /> First performed in Paris at the Opéra on 22 May 1880. <br /> <br /> "La Vierge completed in 1878 is a 'légende sacrée' with a text by Grandmougin and a considerable cast. Its four scenes are 'The Annunciation' 'The Wedding at Cana' 'Good Friday' and 'The Assumption'; there is a Galilean Dance during the wedding scene. The single movement that makes up the Good Friday scene is one of Massenet's best creations broad in conception and strongly dramatic in character but the work has never found favour with the exception of the prelude to the last scene 'Le dernier sommeil de la Vierge' featuring a solo cello and muted strings." Hugh Macdonald in Grove Music Online. <br /> <br /> We would like to thank Mr. Bernard Peyrotte of Librairie Arioso in Paris for kindly informing us of the identity of the person to whom Massenet inscribed the present score.
