“The first of the public rehearsals will be head to-morrow afternoon at 4 o’clock, at Steinway Hall. A large chorus is expected to attend. It should be understood that these rehearsals are not concerts, and that repetitions of the same movements or passages may be necessary more than once in order to arrive at a more perfect ensemble. The orchestra, seventy in number, will not appear until the last three rehearsals.”
