[Ugalde, Delphine. (1829 - 1910)] . "Le songe d'une nuit d'été" [A Midsummer Night's Dream] - Autograph Musical Quotation to Delphine Ugalde, with additional quotations by Stoltz, Ricci, Houssaye and Fargueil. . Impressive AMQS from the important French opera composer to the celebrated soprano Delphine Ugalde. Four measures with text, inscribed to Ugalde and dated 24 September, 1879. A small clipped printed portrait of Thomas is affixed beneath the quotation and an additional AMQS by Federico Ricci, of a descending scale setting of the composer's name, is neatly penned above. The verso of the page features inscriptions and signed poetry quotations by the important French Mezzo-soprano Rosina Stoltz (creator of Ascanio in Berlioz's Benvenuto Cellini, Marguerite in Auber's Le lac des fées, the title role in Marie Stuart, and two Donizetti heroines, Léonor in La favorite and Zayda in Dom Sébastien); writer and director of the the Opéra, Arsène Houssaye and his son, the critic Henry Houssaye; the actress Anaïs Fargueil. 31.5 x 23.5 cm [12.5 x 9.5 inches]. Fine.
The Thomas quotation is from the opéra-comique in three acts composed to a French libretto by Joseph-Bernard Rosier (1804–1880) and Adolphe de Leuven. Although it shares the French title for Shakespeare's play, A Midsummer Night's Dream, its plot is not based on the play and Shakespeare himself is a character in the opera as are Elizabeth I and Falstaff.
Ugalde "studied in Paris with Cinti-Damoreau and made her début in 1848 at the Opéra-Comique as Angèle in Auber’s Le domino noir, a role created by her teacher. In 1851 she sang at Her Majesty’s Theatre, London, as Delilah in Auber’s L’enfant prodigue. In 1858 she sang Leonora (Il trovatore) at the Paris Opéra and was then engaged at the Théâtre Lyrique. In 1863 she moved to the Bouffes-Parisiens, where in 1867 she sang in her own operetta, Halte au moulin. She retired in 1871." (Elizabeth Forbes, Grove Online)
