Cosima's Diaries

Diary Entry of March 5, 1876

Overview

Still without word from the children, the writer spent the day receiving visitors and making calls, while R. handled an interview about the Fiirstner affair and came back satisfied. In the evening they attended Armide, where Frau Voggenhuber seemed better than her reputation, though Herr Niemann made a poor impression.
