BIZET (Georges). Autograph letter signed, to "My dear friend" [Léon Carvalho]. S.l., s.d. August (?) 1872]. 3 pages in-12 (trace of mounting on tab on the back). Beautiful letter about the Arlésienne, addressed to the director of the Théâtre du Vaudeville in Paris, Léon Carvalho (1825-1897). It was in this theatre that the first performance of this famous opera composed by Bizet after a drama by Alphonse Daudet took place on October 1, 1872. [...] I have just met Constantin who told me about l'Arlésienne and his desire to conduct the orchestra. Ruelle hasn't finished anything yet. Moreover, it probably won't open for another two months. Besides, Constantin is close enough to Ruelle to make arrangements [...]. As a postscript, Bizet asks what answer he should give to Choudens, if he talks to him about the Arlesienne.
