Herr Kögel is at last to sing Hagen before R. today. — The children liked the first act of Siegfried best — which delights R., since it bears witness to the popular appeal of the work, whereas otherwise the artists until now have stood before this first act as before something incomprehensible. A few people to dinner; reception in the evening.
