Review: New-York Times, 17 December 1867, 4.

“There was no performance at this house last night. AUBER’S Operatic Ballet was announced for production, but closed doors only greeted the few persons who gathered about the building. Further representations by Mr. DE POL’S ballet are suspended, we believe, and the leading artists will quickly disperse through the country. This ballet enterprise has not been latterly profitable, and fate and finance have wound it up.”

The attempt to perform Auber’s opera with ballet Der Gott und die Bajadere at the Academy of Music failed due to budget limitations.
