Fauré, Gabriel. (1845-1924). . Autograph Letter on the obstacles of Opera production. Autograph letter from the important and prolific French composer. A student of Saint-Saens, he was an influential organist and was teacher of Ravel, Enesco, Schmitt, Boulanger and others.

Furthermore, the number would be an issue if we take on a setting larger than our small Hall of the Conservatory. So, I fear that we are obliged, for the moment, to present to the public only our own actors. I called, moreover, Taffanel and Busser to your Office on Tuesday..."

"Pour ce qui concerne le drame et la comédie, il me semble aussi réalisable qu'il est intéressant.

D'autre part le nombre nous ferait défaut si nous abordions un cadre plus vaste que notre petite salle du Conservatoire. Je crains donc que nous soyons tenus, pour le moment, à ne présenter au public que nos comédiens. J'ai convoqué, d'ailleurs, Taffanel et Busser à votre bureau pour mardi..."
