“Mlle. Aimée’s opera bouffe season at Lina Edwin’s Theatre is progressing with abundant success. The house is numerously and fashionably occupied every evening, and the spirited performance of ‘Fleur de Thé,’ a most amusing and tuneful opera, affords great pleasure. The prosperity of Mlle. Aimée’s venture—there is every reason to regard the present series of representations as an endeavor to establish opera bouffe in the City for the Winter—will be augmented by the production of pieces altogether new to America. Meanwhile, the attractiveness of ‘Fleur de Thé’ is unabated. The enterprise has an additional guarantee of stability in thoroughly good business management.”
