“There is at present a company of German singers giving opera at the Stadt Theatre in the Bowery. The artists in this troupe are so good that they ought to be singing somewhere else, for the Stadt Theatre is anything but a pleasant place. Among these artists are Mlle. Canissa, Madame Lichtmay, Hermanns, the great basso, and Bernard the Pfluger, tenors. The orchestra is very good, and the prices of admission are reasonable. Mr. H. Grau is the manager of this enterprise. This evening Halevy’s ‘Jewess’ will be performed by the singers above mentioned.”

Review: New York Herald, 08 October 1873, 6.

“At the Stadt Theatre last night quite a numerous audience witnessed the opera of ‘Die Jüdin.’ Of course Frau Louise Lichtmay as Rachel and Fraulein Canissa as the princess Eudoxia were the life of the performance, the former being frequently applauded. Herr Hermanns’ Cardinal Brogol was tolerably good, but his voice did not seem as powerful as usual. The costumes and scenery were splendid, and evidently pleased the audience greatly.”
