PUCCINI, Giacomo (1858–1924). Autograph letter signed “G. Puccini,” London, Friday evening [June 1919], to Serge Diaghilev; 2 pages, in-12 format, on Savoy Hotel letterhead, in an envelope; in Italian (ink stamp from the Serge Lifar collection). Note: He had a truly delightful evening at the Alhambra, and he gladly accepts the two tickets for the following evening, Saturday, as he has a great desire to attend the excellent, exquisite performance once again (“un grande desiderio di assistere nuovamente all’eccellente esquisito spettacolo”); he thanks him for it… [In June 1919, the Ballets Russes presented *La Boutique fantasque* to music by Rossini with sets by Derain, and *Le Tricorne* by Manuel de Falla with sets and costumes by Picasso at the Alhambra in London.]
