Farewell to Dr Schönaich! Our friend Richter arrives in his stead, bringing with him no pleasant news from Vienna. Dinner with him and Prof. Bernays; the evening together as well. Yesterday there was fine music—“Tristan” and “Die Meistersinger”; today, the nonsense of “Othello”.[1]
[1] The wording is undoubtedly the opera “Othello” by Gioacchino Rossini (1792-1868).
