“’The Brigands,’ at the Grand Opera House, has achieved a genuine success, both artistically and pecuniarily. The wild, romantic scenery and the varying incidents of the opera seem to harmonize completely with American taste. The whispering and laughing choruses have already attained a wide popularity, and the style that pervades the entire music of the work is most pleasing.”
