Scope and content
- A.l.s. from Émile Zola to André Antoine (1858-1943), Paris, 31 January 1902, 1 p.
Zola requests theatre tickets for his wife and for himself. Would like to see Antoine at the intermission, so that he can congratulate him. Has heard that the ticket sales are good.
Zola is referring to the adaptation of his novel La Terre, prepared for the stage by Charles Hugot and Raoul de Saint-Arroman. The play opened at the Théâtre Antoine on 21 January 1902, with Antoine in one of the leading roles. In spite of its strong beginnings, the play was only a moderate success.
André Antoine had launched the Théâtre Antoine in 1897 and later became a respected theatre critic and a film maker.
Published in Correspondance, vol. X, page 355-356 (letter 340).
