Cosima's Diaries

Diary Entry of June 14, 1876

Overview

R. is still too ill to lead the rehearsal, and I go to the theater myself to bring him what good news I can. Even in pain he jokes that it is almost his fate to have Die Walkiire performed behind his back, while I am preoccupied by worries about the governess.

R. quite indisposed, had a bad night; there can be no question of his running the rehearsal. I pay a visit to the theater and am able to bring him good news of it. Despite his pain, he jokes and says it seems to be his fate that Die Walküre should be performed behind his back!

For me, governess worries.
