“Yesterday’s rehearsal was very numerously attended, and so was the after [evening] performance.”

Announcement: New York Clipper, 03 May 1873, 38.

“Theodore Thomas executed a ‘breakdown’ in sensational style at Steinway Hall on April 25, on the occasion of the rehearsal of the Ninth Symphony. He had just stepped on his platform to commence the symphony when he fell through the stage. He was not injured.”
