Review: New-York Times, 02 November 1872, 3.

“We are glad to note that the last traces of Mlle. Bonelli’s indisposition have disappeared, and that the animated and fascinating performance of that artist in ‘Geneviève de Brabant,’ at the Olympic Theatre, affirms the excellence of the selection of the lady as the seconda donna of Mlle. Aimée’s company.”
