“The ‘indisposition’ of Signor Brignoli compelled the manager to substitute ‘Faust’ for ‘Robert’ last night, but the performance was nevertheless a very good one, Mr. Habelman [sic] being thus afforded an opportunity of appearing in one of his most popular parts, and the other artists, Madame Rotter, Madame Cellini, and Mr. Hermanns acquitting themselves with credit.”
