Reyer\"). 1 p, 8vo, n.d., on letterhead of the National Theatre of Opera, a notice to a newspaper regarding the interpretation of a role in his opera Salammbo (1890), his signature work. Reyer writes (translated from the French): \"There is a role in \u003ci style=\"\"\u003eSalammbo\u003c\/i\u003e of only a few measures, a minor role but very important in two scenes of the first and third acts. It is that of Giscon. Mr. Dubulle, the excellent bass at the Opera, yesterday accepted the wish of Mr. Reyer that he interpret this role, to which with the authority of his double talent as a singer and an actor, he will give his allure and striking appearance. Please publish this little note. E. Reyer.\" The note has been marked up in blue pencil by the newspaper; creases and slight chips; overall in fine condition. 5.25 x 8.25 inches (13.6 x 21 cm).\u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003eSalammbô\u003cspan style=\"\"\u003e is an \u003c\/span\u003eopera\u003cspan style=\"\"\u003e in five acts composed by \u003c\/span\u003eReyer\u003cspan style=\"\"\u003e to a \u003c\/span\u003elibretto\u003cspan style=\"\"\u003e by \u003c\/span\u003eCamille du Locle\u003cspan style=\"\"\u003e, based on the \u003c\/span\u003ehomonymous novel\u003cspan style=\"\"\u003e by \u003c\/span\u003eGustave Flaubert\u003cspan style=\"\"\u003e (1862).
