Lesure II p. 152.<br /> <br /> Henry VIII to a libretto by Léonce Détroyat and Armand Silvestre was first performed at the Paris Opéra on 5 March 1883.<br /> <br /> "Despite Saint-Saëns' care for authenticity of period and place the music's strongest impression is of a tightly constructed score with vocal and orchestral resources skilfully deployed especially in the confrontation scenes. After Samson et Dalila this was his most successful opera widely performed in the composer's lifetime often in a reduced three-act version that simply omitted Act 3; Saint-Saëns refused to make the reductions the Opéra demanded."

First Edition of the first version. Ratner II p. 73.<br /> <br /> Le Timbre d'argent to a libretto by Jules Barbier and Michel Carré was first performed at the Théâtre Lyrique in Paris on February 23 1877.<br /> <br /> "Composed in 1864-5 for the Théâtre Lyrique Paris the opera was kept from the stage first by the theatre's bankruptcy then by the Franco-Prussian War and was not played until 1877. In the meantime Saint-Saëns had recomposed the dialogue to form a grand opera version which was not played until 1913. The music is enormously fluent and versatile . There are some bold scenic ideas including a theatre seen from the back of the stage and some fanciful transformations. It seems no coincidence that the opera's 18 performances in 1877 exactly coincided with Offenbach's first concentrated labours on Les contes d'Hoffmann." Hugh Macdonald in Grove Music Online.

Ratner II p. 254.<br /> <br /> The première of Les Barbares at the Opéra in Paris on 23 October 1901 was a great success. "Live oxen were brought on stage in an ensemble and gave the management many problems of housing and feeding during performances." Debussy famously criticized the opera as being a vehicle unworthy of the composer's talents. Brian Rees in Camille Saint-Saëns: A Life p. 348. A. Durand [PN D. & F. 5927] unknown

Illegible note to first page and two words underlined in blue pencil. Old horizontal crease; else very good. Autographed letter signed by French musician and composer Camille Saint-Saëns 1835-1921 to an unidentified addressee concerning his "protégé" one Ferdinand Nayrac whom he knew during his stay in Cairo in 1891 but about whom we are unable to find any information.<br /> <br /> "Cher monsieur comme je ne voulais pas vous ennuyer je m'etais adressé à M. Bornier qui m'avait proposé lui meme de vous parler de mon protégé et je pensais naturellement qu'il l'avait fait. Il s'agit de M. Ferdinand Nayrac que j'ai connu au Caire." The composer goes on to describe how his wife is exhausted by the climate and they are looking for work in milder climes. unknown
