ALS in Italian, one page both sides, 8.25 x 10.75, personal letterhead, January 30, 1922. Handwritten letter regarding the performance of Il Trittico at the Teatro alla Scala in Milan. In part (translated): "Last night was the greatest evening—tremendous—a complete triumph. There were many disputes in the theatre—always a sure sign of success for me. You know how it was for the premiere of Butterfly. Thus a really complete and hard-won success. But I am dead tired…Foranzo has given all of himself as far as the lights and scenery…the performance was marvelous—a million times better than the one in Rome." In very good to fine condition, with some light staining and creasing.
Il Trittico is a trio of one-act operas by Giacomo Puccini—Il tabarro, Suor Angelica, and Gianni Schicchi—that premiered at the Metropolitan Opera in 1918. Each opera presents a distinct mood and setting, ranging from dark verismo tragedy to spiritual drama to sharp comedy. Together, the three works showcase Puccini’s versatility in blending intense emotion, vivid orchestration, and memorable melodic writing.
