Two handwritten manuscript letters written by German Opera composer Giacomo Meyerbeer in Italian. 3 leaves in all. The 1800 letter describes Meyerbeer's efforts to obtain tickets for his correspondent. The tickets obtained turned out to be from friends once they knew they were for "the admirable pupil of Cluny." The March 19, 1831 letter is written to another composer. Gasparo Spontini. Written in Italian but address in Grench to Spontini at the "Hotel Chatam." Meyerbeer has cut short "a meeting about my opera which I should have had today" but nevertheless "returned too late on account of still more work" to say farewell to Spontini. He is sorry not to have been able to say bon voyage in person, but sends his best wishes to Spontini and to his wife. He signs himself "your warm admirer." Also present is the accompanying address panel.

Volume 3 covers a time span that preeminently represents the period in the composer's life known as The Years of International Fame (1850-56). Confirmed as the major figure on the operatic scene, and freed from the more onerous duties of his official position, Meyerbeer was able to enjoy his most remarkable period of stability and renown, as the detailed and absorbing diary entries reveal. These years saw the composing, rehearsing, and staging of L'Etoile du Nord (1854), and his personal supervision of major productions in London, Dresden, Stuttgart, and Vienna.
