Received and responded to letters; many household troubles. Rehearsal from two o’clock until six, in my box with Countesses Andrássy, Dönhoff, Widenburg[1], Amadei. Everything is going well, although the same mutinous spirit of the orchestra still shows itself. Materna magnificent, Glatz is little expressive and less engaging! Most overwhelming impression! Spent the evening at home.
[1] The spelling is clear but cannot be determined; possibly Wickenburg.
