Review: New York Post, 11 October 1870, 2.

“Weber’s ‘Freischütz,’ with its fresh and delightful music, was given last night at the Stadt Theatre for the first time this season, with Mlle. Lichtmay as Agathe, and Mlle. Krause as Annchen. Habelmann and Franosch took the principal male parts. Both orchestra and the chorus were good, and the performance was altogether quite enjoyable, though the audience was unusually chary of applause.”
