Giacomo Meyerbeer, compositeur du Grand Opéra français - Pièce signée, Reçu de rentes d'État à 4,5 % remis par le notaire M. Alexandre - 1854

Piece signed “Meyerbeer”, Prussian composer of Jewish faith, one of the creators of the great French opera, author notably of Robert le Diable, Les Huguenots, Le Prophète and L’Étoile du Nord, created in Paris on February 16, 1854, six weeks before the present piece. The letter is dated Paris March 27, 1854.

Written in brown ink on vellum paper.

The text constitutes a receipt by which the signatory declares having received from Mr. Alexandre, notary, the sum of 2,812.50 francs corresponding to the semester of interest due on March 22, on state annuities at 4.5%. The address at the bottom of the same sheet, “Monsieur Meyerbeer, rue d’Enghien N° 11”, is coherent with the composer’s habits who, during his Parisian stays, rented modest flats near the Opéra.
