From Barcelona to Napoles to say goodbye, without knowing it, to the great theater of San Carlos. Prince Pignatelli was a businessman and it was Gayarre who saved him from ruin.
At the end of February he arrived in Madrid. On March 8, he was to give his first performance with the eminent Medea Morelli. He had called J. Enciso and Dr. Ach car, who arrived from Bilbao, to hear him sing, on the 9th. They found him in bed. He had reproduced that strange pain in his chest, which had arisen in London, after his debut at the Grande Opera in Paris. Mr. Ach carro returned to Bilbao without hearing him sing, recommending that he rest in the Alhama de Aragón spa. After five days he felt well and sent a telegraph to the businessman from Real. The comeback was triumphant. At the third performance of La Africana, she said that she was not feeling well, that she was afraid she would not be able to sing the fourth. Encouraged by his faithful servant Angel and by Enciso, his spirits lifted, he sings for the fourth time. The public does not notice his fear and anguish and triumphs as always. After this trance he dedicated himself to studying his new opera, Los Pescadores de Perlas .
