“The lower part of the Academy was pretty well filled at the first rehearsal yesterday afternoon, but there were very few in the boxes. The two overtures are extremely difficult, and Bergmann will have considerable work in getting his orchestra to give a fair interpretation of them. The programme, in which the names of these works were printed, consisted, as usual, of a small strip of paper, on the back of which was a warning to those who enter the house during the actual performance of the music.”
