“…The Richings Opera troupe, having sensibly shelved the Enchantress and its trashy music, reprised Martha at the Olympic last night. The cast included Miss Richings, Mrs. Seguin, and Messrs. Castle, Campbell, Seguin and Peakes, as usual; and the charming music was admirably given. Miss Richings was most successful in the ‘Last Rose of Summer; and in the concerted music. Mrs. Sequin, née Miss Zelda Harrison, is the best Nancy we have seen in New York for many years. With a double company next season, with good operas and liberal management, as Miss Richings proposes to have, we see no reason why English opera cannot be entirely successful and the centre of fashion, as well as unintellibigle and mutilated works in other languages.”
