réf. 003019Manuscrit A.S., sd [7 novembre 1899], 2p in-8 (28 lignes). Manuscrit d'un article, vraisemblablement publié, sur la premier de Lakmé de Léo Délibes qui eut lieu la veille, 6 novembre 1899, avec Rose Relda dans le rôle de Lakmé et M. Clarence dans celui de Nilakanta. L'article loue les deux jeunes et talentueux chanteurs de l'Opéra-Comique. On ne sait rien sur ces deux chanteurs, qui ont peut-être eut une carrière à l'étranger surtout. Rose Relda était américaine, élève de madame Colonne et a laissé une trace en France en 1898 et 1899. Feuilles découpées pour la publication et recomposées (scotchs anciens au dos). Beau document.
