New-Yorker Stadt-Theater Opera: Faust

“The [illeg.] season of German opera, which was inaugurated at the Stadt theatre [sic] on Wednesday evening, bids fair to prove a magnificent success. With first class artists, a full chorus and an efficient orchestra it could scarcely be otherwise. This evening ‘Faust’ will be given with the full strength of the company.”

“A German Opera Company, on the coöperative plan, has engaged the Stadt Theater. Nearly all the German artists familiar to New-York are concerned in it—among them Mesdames Johannsen, Frederici, and Rotter, Miss Josey Hoflé, Habelmann, Himmer, Lotti, Formes and Hermanns.”

“At the Stadt Theatre last night a performance of ‘Faust’ was given by the associated artists of the company. Frederici is a Marguerite who has an admirable conception of the part, and she has given the greatest satisfaction in it, ‘many a time and oft,’ in this city. Delicate, simple and tender, yet by no means lacking in human touches, her Marguerite is a personation which would do credit to singers of far wider celebrity. She was aided last night by Johannsen, Himmer, Steinecke and Weinlich. For this evening ‘Der Freischutz’ is announced.”
