The Concert was very full– I sat with the Hansons & d’Ehrenhoff. Very good music & singing– The overture to Dinorah &c. A Mme Livadari sang—an Italian lady. Between the acts I retired into a small room where lemonade was given us & after all was over the director & Mme Livadari came & were introduced to me. A wet evening– | |
