Jules De PRÉMARAY (Jules-Martial REGNAULT, known as) French - Lot 397
Jules De PRÉMARAY (Jules-Martial REGNAULT, known as) French playwright and theatrical critic. (Pont-d'Armes/ Loire Inférieure 1819 - Paris 1868). 15 letters A.S. in-16°, in-8°, from 1843 to 1865, most of them to Mr PERRIN, Director of the Imperial Academy of Music, at the Theatre. Letter of 12 March 1855 : " My Dear Friend : While waiting for the numerous masterpieces you are meditating on, we must make an end with LA ROSE ROUGE, which is fading in the tabernacle of the Pontiff. There is a ready-made comic opera there. Mademoiselle LEFEBVRE would be charming in the Lutheran role. It is there, above all, a musical subject. There is only to sew a high poetry to the elegant and chastened prose of the work. SOISE would embroider on it the strangest arabesques of notes. It is the only way to rejuvenate this venerable bear. No more white hair! If you adopt my idea. Try to get the manuscript under some pretext, without committing yourself, and I commit myself to a square Lyricism and to writing one of the barber's songs. To you from the heart. Jules De PREMARAY."
