Complete cast. “Signor Operti has composed not only the incidental music of the drama, but a new overture, all of which was of a pleasing character. The overture is now played between the first and second acts, and we can assure those who are in the habit of going out ‘to see a man’ at such times, that if they will remain in and hear the overture they will have no cause for regret.”
