Thursday, May 13:
Drove to the theater with R. and the children. Fritz Brandt, the son, was working in the flies, which gives a rather nice impression. In the evening our good Macedonian Lalas with his brother, a merchant from Salonika. Some days ago I received a Rossini, which Rossini gave her 10 years ago. This duchess, Madame Stolz, wants a proscenium box for the performances! There are reports of quite a tremendous success of Lohengrin in London, in Italian.
