Floriz,

I have just procured four seats for tomorrow, Monday. 1 Wednesday is completely out of the question since Steinrück has to return to Munich, 2 and Tuesday I absolutely cannot get away; so there was no alternative.

I hope that is OK with you. Let's meet up before the performance.


Greetings to you and Fanny from me and Lie-liechen
