Notes |
- an Italian music teacher
- an Italian poet, journalist, librettist, composer and singer (tenor) from Foggia who moved to London from Paris around 1871 after the Franco-Prussian War.
Rizzelli was a friend and colleague of the composer Poniatowski (a close friend of Napoleon III) and became an important Italian figure in Victorian musical life, though he is now forgotten.
Perhaps most famously, he wrote Italian lyrics for Tosti's enormously successful Goodbye! (Addio!), recorded by Caruso. He is mentioned as an attendee at the annual dinners of the Società dei fagiolai (bean-eaters) in London.
- I'm trying to track down a ("sketchy little") portrait of Rizzelli by Theodore Roussel which was exhibited at the Dowdeswell Gallery in 1894.
I've searched gallery and other art sites and tried contacting the author of the catalogue raisonne (without reply) so I'm guessing it is in private hands somewhere and wondered if Ida had owned it, and what might then have happened to it when she passed away.
