“The last matinée performance of the present season of Italian opera took place at the Academy of Music yesterday and was very largely attended.”

Review: New York Herald, 23 March 1873, 9.

“’Der Freischuetz’ was given for the last time at the opera matinée yesterday before a very large audience. Mme. Lucca’s rendering of the great scena and aria of the second act was as impressive and impassioned as when she first essayed the rôle, and Jamet won applause in the drinking song of the first act.”
