Zauberflote and Marriage of Figaro (double-bill, abridged) at the conservatory. Graduation performances. Quite good. Zauberflote especially. I imagine Austrian culture was once a complex question here, given the Hungarian magnates in the area.
I'm not a freemason, but Zauberflote is a mystery piece. Always meaningful. Longstanding habit of mine never to applaud in the second act.
Day quite warm. Double-timed the 45 (25) minute walk in the first of the summer heat, so arrived as if finishing a run. Kept to the back, where there was, alas, little air. Air in the house proper much better than the other evening though. Oxygen makes for better art.
