MASCAGNI
(Pietro, 1863-1945, Italian Composer)
Fine long Autograph Letter Signed to his colleague and friend Teofilo De Angelis, in Italian, with translation,
about the opera 'Lodoletta' saying that "the same company wants to intensify the performances, especially next week when there is the party also Wednesday; and she would like to replace Bellincioni another Sunday, which can not endure so much work. Today, Fiammingo was in Livormo; and I doubt they want to use her. In conscience, I would not be very satisfied; whereas if we were to have a good Lodoletta, I would think of that lady who was there in my house. I think it would be fast and able to make a good impression. That's why I sent you my friend Nunes, who will tell you even more. Basically, I ask him for a favour; as a colleague and friend. The lady should leave tomorrow; Friday, with the prospect of singing Lodoletta Sunday at 17h. If the girl is ready to do it, I think it will be a good thing for your career, because the chance to go immediately to La Spezia and then to other theatres can be done immediately. Currently, it is up to you, dear professor, to decide it; and I am sure he will want to interest you that my wish is exhausted. And why do not you come to Livorno with the Lady? ... Come come! This will give me a real personal favor. The friend Nunes will complete this letter written with fury. I trust you, dear De Angelis, and I'm waiting for the Lodoletta ... with the expert and passionate hunter that I have not yet been able to thank for a loving welcome ...",3 sides 4to., with original autograph envelope, Via Cavour 221, Rome, no date
