French composer (1838–1875) whose operatic masterpiece, Carmen, was completed just before his untimely death from heart disease. Scarce ALS in French, one page, 5.25 x 8, no date. Letter to Caro. In full (translated): “I’ve been grabbed by someone else for tomorrow and I was quite imprudent to promise you my evening. I will see Madame Trélant on Sunday and I will then talk to her. Hope to see you soon, with all my friendship.” In very good condition, with intersecting folds, a uniform block of toning over text and signature, pencil notation to top edge, small tear to top edge, and small adhesive remnants to left side. With only a handful of letters from Bizet, this note represents one of the limited known communications that remain from the esteemed composer. RRAuction COA.
