Visit to the Court Library while R. has rehearsal; unfortunately, the guide proved more a hindrance than a help. Visits in the afternoon. In the evening, discussion of the entrance of the guests in the second act. It remains incomprehensible how distractedly and clumsily R.’s works are presented upon the greatest stages. (R. drove with the children to Schönbrunn and showed them the menagerie.)
