Antonio Tamburini was one of the most famous and sought-after baritones of his time. He participated in a large number of first performances of operas by Bellini, Donizetti, Mercadante and others. His correspondent is apparently a costumer at a French theater; Tamburini frequently appeared on the Paris stage in the 1830s and 40s. The identity of "le Prince" is unknown. It seems possible that Tamburini refers to the name of a character he is to sing himself an an unidentified opera.
