Caruso, Enrico. (1873-1921). Annotated Performance Payment Receipts.

A fascinating and highly unusual set of three annotated payment receipts from performances given in 1913, 1914 and 1915 by the great tenor. Each includes the date, fee, and work performed, and beneath each, Caruso himself has written a frank one-word assessment of his own performance. According to him (and we fully believe!) at the 11/26/1913 Aida, he was "Magnifico"; at the 12/30/1914 Huguenots, he was again "Magnifico"; and at the 1/12/1915 Pagliacci, he was [merely?] "Buono."
