Quotation from Friedelind Wagner
"Dear Abe,
I am just reading a letter from the 27th of October 1961 from
Friedelind, she writes: " attended the Zuerich Opera debut of my
wonderful baritone, Abe Polakoff. He literally stopped the show and it
was great to share his big night with him and his family"

I hope you are well, I am off to Bayreuth next week for the dress rehearsals.
Best wishes
Neill"
