Review: New-York Times, 30 April 1868, 4.

“The attendance on the occasion was so great as to invade the sanctity of the orchestra, and the musicians were turned from their accustomed seats, in favor of the overflow from the auditorium, which completely filled the precinct of harmony. The overture and entr’act music were given from behind the curtain.”
