Adeline Théodore, at present teacher of dancing at the Opéra shone. Poor Vizentini! His opinion of me has changed greatly since that time. We were made to understand and love each other, so he has become, with years, one of my best and most devoted friends. He first produced my ballet Javotte at the Grand-Théâtre in Lyons, which the Monnaie in Brussels had ordered and then refused.
Viardot as an interpreter and Berlioz as conductor; and the directors who followed Carvalho Rety, Pasdeloup, etc. did not succeed any better. In 1875 Vizentini took over the Gaîté, with a grant of two hundred thousand francs and excellent artists; but he had to give it up.
Afterwards it was refused in succession by Halanzier, Vaucorbeil, and Ritt and Gailhard, who decided to take it only after they had heard it sung by that admirable singer Rosine Bloch. But to return to Le Timbre d'Argent. I was again on the street with my score under my arm. About that time Vizentini revived the Théâtre-Lyrique.
