Best.-Nr. 022741[Charles Perrault] Eugène de Planard (1783-1853), écrivain, librettiste. L.A.S., 5 mars 1825, 2p 1/2 in-4. Très belle lettre se réjouissant du succès de l'opéra La Belle au bois dormant, composé par Michele Carafa (1787-1872) sur un livret de Planard et créé le 2 mars. Il réclame des articles, mais pas dans la constitutionnel, en raison de sa « conduite toute bourbonnienne ». Il précise toutefois : « la salle était pleine. Les Parisiens sont des moutons de Panurge. L'idée de trouver la foule attire toujours du monde ». Il donne une liste de journaux que son correspondant, le vicomte de La Rochefoucauld, peut contacter. Très belle lettre. [559]

Best.-Nr. 014022Gustave Vaëz (1812-1862), librettiste belge. L.A.S., Paris, 17 août 1844, 1p in-8. Belle lettre autour de la re-création de l'opéra Othello de Rossini le 26 août 1844, à l'éditeur Christophe Tresse : « Mon cher Monsieur Tresse, nous avons, Alphonse Royer et moi un Othello traduit et réarrangé qui se jour à l'opéra le lundi 26 de ce mois, dans 9 jours ; la musique, comme vous le savez, est de Rossini, les rôles sont joués par [Gilbert] Duprez, [Paul] Baroilhet, [Nicolas-Prosper Levasseur] et Mme [Rosine] Stolz [Stoltz], on y a mis de la danse et tout ce qu'il faut pour rendre la représentation brillante. Nous voulons, suivant l'usage, faire imprimer d'avance pour vendre le jour même à l'opéra. Vous convient-il de vous rendre acquéreur du libretto au prix de mille francs que nous avons déterminé comme le plus bas prix auquel nous céderons la propriété de la chose. Cela dit, vous n'avez qu'un mot de réponse à me faire : oui ou non ; vous me ferez connaître votre décision demain n'est ce pas car il ne reste qu'une semaine pour l'impression. Soyez assez bon pour m'écrire deux lignes. Bien à vous dans tous les cas. Gustave Vaëz ». Tresse a effectivement édité le livret en 1844. Très intéressant courrier. [134-2]

Incroyable et étonnante lettre à l'actrice Sarah Bernhardt (1844-1923) : « Vous me disiez hier que vous m'aimiez bien. Et moi donc ! Seulement, chez vous, cela date de quelques semaines, et c'est de l'amitié pure. Chez moi, cela date de deux ans (devinez à quelle époque) et c'est. tout autre chose ! J'ai été bien bien discret, nest-ce pas ? [.] en tout cas, mon indiscrétion est bien inoffensive, puisque vous partez, que je pars, que nous nous sommes dit un long adieu et que nous nous reverrons pas de plusieurs mois, qui sait même de plusieurs années, jamais peut-être. Je suis au lit, très-souffrant. Vos derniers mot d'hier m'ont mis sans dessus-dessous. Ce qui me désespère c'est d'être à l'hôtel. Si vous saviez l'infirmerie que je rêve !. mais bah ç je crois que je serais plus malade encore. Adieu, ma chère Sarah, bon voyage et soyez heureuse. Moi-même je le serais aussi si j'avais la certitude que vous pensez parfois sans trop de déplaisir à certain toqué qui vous aimait bien. De coeur. ». Très belle d'un amoureux éconduit au moment de la séparation [362]
