The Troubador is “a dramatic version of the opera, ‘Il Trovatore.’ . . . The Old bowery is now so well conducted and the performances so attractive that persons blasé with Broadway theatricals find themselves surprised and pleased at the manner in which the theatres are managed on the east side of town.”
