Service and Dependability 137 Cone St, N. W. WA. 9800 THE WAR ECHOED IN “RONDINE” AND CAUSED ROW Poor innocent “La Rondine” nearly caused a big international break. It happened this way. Puccini, before the war, had made arrangements with Austrian publishers to handle the op era and Austrian librettists were to be the text. The war broke out, Italy decreed that the contract was void and an Italian company took it over, and Adami, the Italian, worked on the libretto. Leon Daudet in the “Action Fran- caise” for unknown reason became angered by Director Guinzberg of the Theatre of Monaco, where the world premiere took place. Here was neu tral ground where this opera could be produced safe from the reverberations of war which were at this time dis turbing the peace of Europe. Leon Daudet in the “Action Fran- caise,” has had many other squabbles since, and has been frequently in the newspapers for his arguments (once he barricaded himself against the po lice of Paris). Attempts have been made to discov er the reason for Daudet’s hate but to no avail. But in effect Daudet claim ed that Puccini was having dealings with the enemy (Austria) in dealings with Eischenschutz and Berte, in the original contract, and that negotia tions were on for performance at the Carl Theatre at Vienna. Is Libretto Adami’s? Further Daudet sought to upset matters by questioning the libretto of Adami’s. He boldly came forth and stated that he thought Adami had lit tle or nothing to do with it, but that here was the original text. Then Dau det went on to say that the plans which had been contemplated for the performance of “Rondine” in Paris were off. Because Puccini, if you please, was dealing with the enemy! Immediately Puccini responded and in his own manner, clearly indicated where he stood. In his letter, which was given out to the newspapers, Puccini said that he had always been loyal and patriotic. He concluded with: “I have taken from our ene mies that which legally was their property, and have given my opera to an Italian publisher, and if that be a crime, it is one of which I have every reason to be proud.” Daudet did not cease his venomous criticisms, however, he continued to attack Puccini, and he did so until the day of the Italian composer’s death. !
