Description

8vo. 1 page on bifolium. With autograph address verso. To the dancer Lise Noblet (1801-52) in Paris, mailing her a book with highlighted passages about the opera "Masaniello" or "La Muette di Portici", for which he revised the libretto and wherein she performed the title role in 1828, a volume he considers to be of great assistance for a scene of his play "La Nouvelle Clary" (published in 1822), in which he would like her to star: "Voici, mon aimable et jolie dame, le grand livre que je vous ai promi et pour que n'ayez pas la peine de le lire en entier j'ai marqué ce qui avait seulement rapport à Mazaniello - vous verra que rien n'est plus dramatique. Je viens de le parcourir encore et je l'ai trouvé si interessant qu'il m'a semblé assister à une scène de clary. une Scène de Clary jouée par vous, bien entendu [.]". - With former collector's number "113" in pencil. Traces of former mounting on reverse; small tears near and along the centrefold; slightly brownstained.
