Спасибо за приятное известие. Рад за Вас и за Направника. Thanks for pleasant news. Glad for you and for Nápravník [1].
Чайковский Tchaikovsky
Notes:
  1. Tchaikovsky had come specially to Saint Petersburg on 18/30 October 1886 in order to attend the première of Eduard Nápravník's opera Harold, which interested him greatly. During his stay in the imperial capital he frequently called on Emiliia Pavlovskaia, who was due to sing at the première. The latter was, however, postponed due to Nápravník being indisposed, and Tchaikovsky left Saint Petersburg on 9/21 November to return to his house in Maidanovo. On 11/23 November the première of Harold took place at the Mariinskii Theatre, and Pavlovskaia seems to have informed Tchaikovsky of this by telegram—note based on information provided by Vasilii Kiselev in: Чайковский на московской сцене (1940), p. 370 [back]
