Letters by Jean-Paul Barbier, Vincent Capoul, Joseph Dupont, Charles Grandmougin, Ernest Guiraud, Jean Lasalle, Raoul Pugno, Jean-Alexandre Talazac and one unidentified correspondent. - Two of the letters revolve around Godard's greatest success, the opera "Jocelyn", which premiered in Bruxelles on 25 February 1888. In the earlier letter the famous playwright and librettist Jean-Paul Barbier asks for permission to include some pieces by Jocelyn in a concert: "Je voulais vous demander s'il serait possible de faire exécuter le 9 Mai, à notre Soirée d'Henri IV [.] quelques morceaux de Jocelyn? J'ai été plusieurs fois président de l'association, je fais encore partie du comité, et je serais heureux de donner à nos quinze cents invités un régal de cette valeur! [.]" (Paris, 9 March 1888). - In the second letter, the composer and music teacher Ernest Guiraud takes Godard up on the promise of a ticket for a performance of Jocelyn at the Théâtre Lyrique in Paris: "Je vous rappelle l'aimable promesse que vous m'avez faite de me donner demain jeudi une place pour Jocelyn. So vous voulez bien, pour ne pas trop vous déranger, la laisser à mon nom chez le concierge du théâtre [.]" (Paris, 17 Oct. 1888). - Godard's librettist for Jocelyn, the famous tenor Victor Capoul, who sang the leading role in the Paris production, is also among the correspondents. He invites Godard to a salon with a reading of Józef Antoni Poniatowksi's "Pierre de Medicis", here wrongly titled "Marie de Medicis": "Je suis arrivé hier soir. Aujourd'hui j'au rencontré au Salon [.] - Voulez vous être de cette petite fête - après le Café je les lirai Marie de Medicis opera lyrique en 4 acts et sept tableaux!!!! [.]". - The famous tenor Jean-Alexandre Talazac presents his excuses for not being able to join a soirée with the mezzo-soprano Pauline Viardot because of the imminent premiere of Édoard Lalo's "Le roi d'Ys" with Talazac in the role of Mylo: "Je n'ai pu répondre plus tôt à votre lettre du 14 cour.t à cause du Roi d'Ys dont la première représentation aura sans doute lieu du 1er au 5 Mai. Je ne puis donc vous assurer mon concours pour la Soirée du 3 Mai chez Madame Viardot et vous prie d'agréer encore avec tous mes regrets l'expression de mes sentiments bien devoués [.]" (n. p., Dimanche, 22 Avril [1888]). The successful premiere of "Le roi d'Ys" took place on 7 May. Talazac's most important role was Samson in Saint-Saëns "Samson et Delila", which he sang both in the French premiere on 3 March 1890 in Rouen and in the first production in Paris later that year. - In an undated letter, the poet and librettist Charles Grandmougin (1850-1930) invites Godard to join the jury of a music competition: "La société franc-comtoise les Gaudes me charge de vous demander d'être juré pour juger au petit concours musical fait par un de nos poètes. Je crois qu'il y a 12 mélodies environ à juger. Puis je répondre oui? [.]" (n. p. o. d.). - Godard's own letter is the latest dated object in the collection, inviting a young singer to a rehearsal: "Mademoiselle, si vous voulez bien me faire l'honeur de venir chez moi, 6, Bd. de Clichy, mercredi prochain, 1er Avril, à 11 h du matin, je serai charmé de vous recevoir et de vous entendre [.]" (n. p., 28 March 1891). - Varying conditions.
