THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

From R. Vaughan Williams,
10, Hanover Terrace,
Regents Park,
London, N.W.1.

June 10th 1956.

Dear Frank,
I think these people at Ascot are quite mad: but if they want to do my opera without the music, let them.¹ It reminds me of the director of the Paris Opera, who admired the libretto of the Flying Dutchman, but got someone else to write the music!
Yrs, RVW
