Festival

So gar nichts Schöpferisches. Dear Antonia, yesterday I had a very long talk with Mark Battoli, and it was quite a relief. Of course, he again communicated his frustration about the whole process and Steven’s way of communication and handling it, but then he said: They (he and Clara) will now start and operate their association without MT, but the door for MT will stay open. And then he said the really important sentence: Let us all together concentrate on the summer festival. So at the moment at least, there is no danger for the festival. I thanked Mark very much for his sovereignty and cool-headedness. I slept much better the last night. I will inform Ralph the coming week. Have a good Sunday.
