“Opéra bouffe, under Mr. Birgfel’s management at the Fifth Avenue Theatre, is a genuine success. A different opera is presented every night, and the result of this judicious catering to the popular taste is seen in the large audiences which nightly fill this establishment. On Saturday last over fourteen hundred persons attended the matinée.”
