Review: New York Herald, 04 March 1871, 4.

“Miss Clara Louise Kellogg sang at the Academy of Music yesterday a scena and aria by Rubenstein entitled ‘E dunque ver,’ and the well-known ‘Bel Raggio’ of Rossini’s ‘Semiramide.’ She sang both selections in such style that even her most enthusiastic admirers were astonished, and her success was of the most complete kind. The immense audience which, despite the weather, filled the entire building was manifestly attracted by the announcement of the appearance of America’s favorite and unrivalled prima donna. Where Kellogg appears there is sure to be a large house. The orchestral programme consisted of three works [see above].”

“Miss Kellogg’s Bel raggio, by Rossini, was the charm of the concert.”
