| По причине снежных мятелей и заносов боюсь задержки в дороге и не решаюсь выехать. Не имею из Большого театра известия об опере. Прошу узнать, когда репетиции и первое представление. Во всяком случае выезжаю не позже шестого числа.
Чайковский |
Owing to relentless snow and drifts afraid of delays on the road and dare not leave. Have had no news about the opera from the Bolshoi Theatre [1]. Ask you to find out when rehearsals and first performance. In any event will leave no later than the sixth inst.
Tchaikovsky |
