Cosima's Diaries

Diary Entry of August 27, 1876

Overview

R. went to fetch the King in the night once more, and Prince Georg visited in the morning. By evening we heard Rheingold, then spent time with Marie Donhoff, as demand for the third cycle stayed high and the earlier rumors were proved false; Herr Betz, however, seemed more and more careless.
