Le timbre d'argent is the first opera that Saint-Saëns composed. The opera was commissioned by the Théâtre Lyrique and he began composing the music for it in 1864, finishing in 1865. The work's premiere was delayed, first by the financial difficulties of the opera house and then later by the Franco-Prussian War .
The Paris premiere was given by Paul Taffanel and Saint-Saëns at a Société nationale de musique concert at the Salle Pleyel on 6 April 1872. Saint-Saëns was a close friend of Taffanel, even becoming godfather to his daughter. Taffanel would become the Romance's real champion, performing it numerous times over the years. [2] [3]
