“Nilsson’s Marguerite has been so often discussed in these columns that there is little to add to our previous remarks. Her recent indisposition seemed last night to have entirely disappeared, and in the garden and church scenes the magnetism of her voice and acting was as powerful as ever. She leaves with us as a memory a portraiture of Goethe’s heroine, with all the strong characteristics of those exquisite pictures of Ary Scheffer and Kaulbach, surrounded by an atmosphere of holiness and purity and vitalized by a fire of love and passion of her own.”
