Caro Giacomo,

 

        Ti accompagno un articolo dell’Unione di Macerata sulla prima della Fanciulla del West a Senigallia. Riderai di certo leggendo come il critico, impacciato a giudicare del valore dell’opera, se la cava bellamente in punta di piedi. Quello che è certo, anche da notizie mie particolari, è che il successo è stato eccellente e che sopra tutti emerse la Piccioli-Minnie che pare sia una Fanciulla numero uno.

Spero ricevere tue notizie.

 

tuo affo

Tito Ricordi

Dear Giacomo,

   I'm enclosing an article from the Unione of Macerata on the premiere of the Fanciulla del West in Senigallia. You'll certainly laugh at how the critic, inept at judging the opera on its merits, manages to save himself wonderfully [by dancing around it] on the tips of his toes. What is certain, as my own sources confirm, is that it was an excellent success and that the absolute standout was Piccioli as Minnie, who would appear to be a first-rate Fanciulla.

   I hope to receive your latest news.

 

yours warmly

Tito Ricordi
