In accordance with the treaty between the Académie royale, Scribe and himself, the librettist provided him with his poem on April 1st, and Meyerbeer himself delivered his "complete score of Robert le Diable" to the Académie royale on June 1st 830. "Not only do I therefore consent to the treaty receiving its execution as far as I am concerned, but I even dare to claim from the equity of Messieurs les comissaires de la liste civile that they order its prompt execution. As a foreigner in this country, for the past year I have prolonged my stay in Paris solely for the staging of this work". The Royal Academy of Music was due to begin performance on August 1st. "Faced with the memorable events which since that time must have absorbed the moments of the honorable deputies commissioner of the civil list, I hesitated to bother them"... The treaty, the time spent in Paris, "& more than all this the benevolent hospitality with which the French authorities have always protected foreign artists, give me the certainty, Messieurs, that you will grant my respectful claims"... [Robert le Diable was not premiered until November 22, 1831].Attached is a L.A.S. from Eugène SCRIBE, December 20, 1830, to the same address (3p. in-4), concerning his libretto for Robert le Diable, commissioned by the Académie royale de musique, and questioning his collaboration with the future administration of the Opéra.
