Description

Italian Composer Lauro Rossi DS Re: Opera "La figlia di Figaro"

Partly Printed Document Signed, "Lauro Rossi", 3pp bifolium, 8.25" x 11.5", no place, May 1, 1846, an agreement between Rossi and music publishers Thomas Frederick Beale and William Chappell of London, regarding the sale of Rossi's composition of music for the opera "La figlia di Figaro". Musical notation in an unknown hand appears at the conclusion of the agreement. Vertical folds with separation. Some edge tears, one with cellophane repair. Soiling, toning and scattered foxing. Notations at verso from previous collector. In very good condition.

Lauro Rossi (1810-1885) was an Italian composer, conductor and music teacher. He studied in Naples and produced his first opera there. He left Naples for Mexico, then Cuba, where he set up his own opera company, and married its prima donna, Isabella Obermayer. Rossi returned to Italy in 1843 and continued composing, but he was mainly known as an academic figure as director of the Conservatory, first at Milan (1850-1870) and then at Naples (1870-1878). He was commissioned by Giuseppe Verdi to compose a portion of the "Messa per Rossini". Two of his late operas were also highly successful: "La Contessa di Mons" and "Cleopatra". Rossi composed more than twenty-five operas throughout his lifetime.

This item comes with a Certificate from John Reznikoff, a premier authenticator for both major 3rd party authentication services, PSA and JSA (James Spence Authentications), as well as numerous auction houses.
