[BALLETS - OPERA - RECITALS AND RUSSIAN SHOWS] COLLECTION OF PRINCE ALEXIS MICHAGUINE-SKRYDLOFF. Important set of documents, posters, invitations, visiting cards with handwritten annotations from celebrities of the period, actors, conductors, official members and directors of opera houses, performance programs (with autograph signatures and dedications from actors), letters and correspondence (including Joseph Kessel), autographed photographs (including one of Serge Lifar), press cards, passes, and several hundred press clippings devoted to the prince when he was a singer in Russia, and articles written by the prince when he was a journalist in France after the Russian Revolution, published in the European press of the time. All these documents, dating from 1915 to 1960, are contained in three large black folio albums. Weathered, as is. Biography: born in 1901, Alexis was the son of Prince Nicholas Illarionovich Skrydloff (1844-1918), an admiral in the Imperial Fleet. After brilliant studies at the Petrograd drama school, he took singing, piano and composition lessons, before undertaking numerous concerts in all major Russian cities. After fleeing the Bolshevik revolution and settling in France, he gave his first recital at the Salle Pleyel in Paris on January 22, 1928. From then on, he was a regular participant in major song galas, concerts and musical soirées. The young prince also wrote a memoir entitled "White Russia and Red Russia", published in 1935 by Plon. After a brief film career, he abandoned music to devote himself entirely to journalism, becoming, from the beginning of the Second World War until his death, the specialist on the world of music and one of the main players in the White Russian community in Paris.
