Item AB/846 - Autograph letter signed from Nina Grieg to Anna Brodsky

Nina Grieg writes before leaving Kristiania in 10 to 12 days. She is relieved that the Brodskys are well again. There is not much to be heard in Kristiania but Nina plays the piano now and again and has had many pupils. She is going to the Beyers in Bergen for 2 or 3 weeks. Troldhaugen will remain closed this summer. In the middle of June she will go to the Neergards at Fuglsang and then accompany them to Skagon at the sea. She thinks how wonderful the students must be to perform Gluck's Iphigenie in Aulis [In the spring of 1909 the RMCM students gave a costume performance at the Gaiety Theatre, Manchester.] Halvorsen has given a performance of Madame Butterfly. He has been delighted with the last two movements of Grieg's quartet. Dated 16 May 1909.
