“In placing this magnificent theatre at that former standard of prices, and thus bringing its famous and unexcelled performances within the reach of the entire community during this period of popular depression, Mr. Daly would have it distinctly understood that he does not in any particular whatever alter the standard of entertainment at the Grand Opera-house; that he will be, as heretofore, strictly FIRST-CLASS in every department.”
Full company cast list and full cast list with roles. “Mr. Daly begs to announce that he will signalize the Resumption of the Dramatic Season (after the departure of the Italian Opera) on Monday evening, October 20, by a return to the popular ante-bellum or SPECIE PRICES.” (For related article on ticket prices, see separate event entry of 10/15/73: Article on theatre ticket prices and the working class.)
