PUCCINI GIACOMO: (1858-1924)
PUCCINI GIACOMO: (1858-1924) Italian composer. A.N.S., G Puccini, to the recto of his personal printed oblong 12mo Visiting Card, featuring his printed name to the centre, and with no address indicated, 15th October 1920, in French. Puccini writes 'J'assisterai a la representation de Tosca' (Translation: 'I will be attending the performance of Tosca') and sends his thanks. An attractive example. Some very light, extremely minor age wear, VG Tosca, an opera in three acts by Puccini, premiered in Rome in January 1900 and the work includes some of the composer's best-known lyrical arias. It is possible that Puccini was in Paris at the time of the present note for a performance of Tosca featuring the French soprano Mireille Berthon which was recorded on the 18th & 19th October 1920 and published by Ricordi & Co.
