"We have still to record the temporary closed account of the Academy of Music. What the war has not been able to effect, namely to put a ban on the portals of the muse, one single case of hoarseness, that of the first tenor, Signor Brignoli, has been able to achieve; for it is owing to his indisposition that the lights have fled, and the garlands are dead in Irving Place."
