The other singers were Rubini, Tamburini, and Mlle. Allessandri, and the audience was of the utmost distinction, including the foremost people in the art, literary, and social circles of Paris. The debutante was well received, but it was not until she appeared in Cimarosa's "Il Matrimonio Segreto" that she was fully appreciated.
"The conclave ought to have chosen your eminence." "No, no; I'm a root-and-branch reformer, and my hand would not have been stayed for fear of the vengeance of the guilty, and God alone knows what would have come of that. The only cardinal fit to be pope was Tamburini; but it can't be helped now. I hear people coming; good-bye, come again to-morrow."
Even slighter in scope is 'Don Pasquale, a brilliant trifle, written for the Théâtre des Italiens in Paris, and there sung for the first time in 1843, by Grisi, Mario, Tamburini, and Lablache. The story turns upon a trick played by Ernesto and Norina, two young lovers, upon the uncle and guardian of the former, Don Pasquale.
Such is the way in which what is most illustrative of general history, or of the personal character of the author himself, is constantly destroyed by the processes of Signor Tamburini. From the very next page a passage of real value, as a contemporary judgment upon the orders of St. Dominick and St. Francis, has utterly disappeared under his hands.
And, in singing, Rubini was his idol Rubini who triumphed in the role of Othello, giving the suspicion air in a manner no one could equal. It intoxicated him to hear this tenor with Tamburini, Lablache, and Madame Grisi; while Nourrit's song, Ce Rameau qui donne la Puissance et l'Immortalite in Robert le Diable made his flesh creep. It yielded a glimpse of life with all its dreams satisfied.
What a delightful thing to have heard a cardinal call the Pope a fool, and name Tamburini as a fit person. I did not lose a moment in noting this pleasant circumstance down: it was too precious a morsel to let slip. But who was Tamburini? I had never heard of him. I asked Winckelmann, who dined with me.
VALENTIN Mme. PAULINE VIARDOT. MARGUERITE DE VALOIS Mme. CASTELLAN. URBAIN Mlle. ALBONI. COUNT DE ST. BRIS Sig. TAMBURINI. COUNT DE NEVERS Sig. TAGLIAFICO. RAOUL DE NANGIS Sig. MARIO. MARCEL Sig. The action of the opera passes in 1572, the first and second acts in Touraine, and the remainder in Paris.
But the captain, waving the way, piloted them to a corner, got them seated and stood, pad in hand. Paliser looked at Cassy Cara. She was hungry as a wolf, but she said indifferently: "A swallow of anything." "One swallow does not make a supper," Paliser retorted and looked at the Tamburini who appeared less indifferent. "Ham and eggs." Without a quiver, the captain booked it.
There was a powerful opposition to Lumley at the other theatre Grisi, Persiani, Alboni, Mario, and Tamburini and the shrewd impressario played all the cards in his hand for their full value. It had been asserted that Mlle. Lind would not come to England, and that no argument could prevail on her to change her resolution, and this, too, after the contract was signed, sealed, and delivered.
During the season of six months she succeeded in establishing her place as one of the most brilliant singers of the age. She sang in cooperation with many of the foremost artists whose names are among the great traditions of the art. In "Don Giovanni," Rubini and Tamburini appeared with her; in "Anna Bolena," Mme. Tadolini, Santini, and Rubini. Even in Pasta's own great characters, where Mlle.
