Dearest, excellent little wife,
I have this moment returned from the opera, which was as full as ever.
As usual the duet ‘Mann und Weib’ and Papageno’s glockenspiel in Act I had to be
repeated and also the trio of the boys in Act II.
But what always gives me most pleasure is the silent approval! You can
see how this opera is becoming more and more popular.
