which is why current day Bayreuth loves her. It's still understandable 18th century Bayreuth had problems, though!
*nod* A lot of history is like this. Algarotti had the reverse problem! Everyone who met him loved him, but he didn't do enough for his birthplace to make future residents happy with him.
The opera house is lovely. Thank you for the video.
But it says something about how the population saw them.
Yeah, yikes. On another sweet sibling note, Fritz at least came through with replacement books, music, clothes, etc. for them.
Wilhelmine: Dear brother, you know how it goes when you're super depressed and you don't even have flute music to take your mind off your miseries? That's my husband right now. Could you maybe send a flute and some Quantz concertos to cheer him up? It would do him a world of good.
Fritz: Yes, yes, absolutely, they're on their way now. Anything for my sister. Please make a list of what else you lost, both of you, so I can make good on your losses. The important thing is that you didn't die. As long as you're alive, we can fix the rest. PLEASE DON'T DIE. NEVER DIE. (5 years before she died, about a year and a half before she and her husband left for Italy hoping to improve her health.)
