Tuesday, May 2:
Loldi in bed. I hear with inimitable delight the scene between Siegfried and Wotan; Herr Unger quite outstanding.
In the evening Goethe's Trilogy of Passion, read aloud by R., very moving.
Cosima's Diaries
Diary Entry of May 2, 1876
Overview
With Loldi confined to bed, the day remains sickly and anxious, but music provides relief. She is delighted by the scene between Siegfried and Wotan and praises Unger’s performance, then ends the evening with a moving reading of Goethe’s Trilogy of Passion. The contrast between illness and artistic intensity gives the entry its emotional shape.
