More of Ima’s stay in Munich at
the musicians’ pension:
Aug. 28 - Thursday Munich
[Wednesday, August 28, and Thursday, August. 29?]
The “interesting men” have gone & in their places very
interesting ladies. Have dared to play on the piano here a little. Mrs. Cooper and
I carriaged to the Rheingold with little French lady. Had good seats
827-829--Whitehill the Witan was an old friend of Mrs. Cooper’s with an
interesting story to his career--and after the performance met him. Quite a
striking looking man. Has a good voice, too....Got home in time for dinner.
Aug. 29-Sept. 2 --Friday. Munich-[-
Glorious full day! [Friday,
August 30?] Burgstaller as Siegmund in
the Valkyrie....[here she gives a detailed description of the opera] Dreadful to come to earth and find oneself
in the rain, too, waiting for carriage. [more details of the opera, which
she liked better than the Met’s version.]
Met many delightful people at the Pension. Mrs. B---[illegible] of Brooklyn
& the Woods also of B[rooklyn].--Mrs.
Cooper, Miss Cummings & I went to the Nat. Museum & rushed through to
our regret. [ Here she gives a detailed description of the art they saw.]
Friday was the opera, perhaps
Saturday was the museum. What did she do on Sunday and Monday, Sept. 1 and 2?]
She does not say.
