Review: New-York Daily Tribune, 23 August 1871, 8.

“The design was to afford a suitable medium for the manifestation of Mr. Emmet’s temperament, and the exercise of his skill as a singer of comic songs—in German character and dialect. That design has been fully accomplished. Mr. Emmet sings these songs very well indeed, and evinces imitative talent and a stage affability that readily passes for mingled humor and delicacy of feeling.”

Review: New York Clipper, 02 September 1871, 174.

Includes complete cast listing. “Signor Operti composed a medley overture for ‘Fritz’ entitled ‘A Night about New York,’ which commenced each night’s performance and was favorably received.”
