Review: New York Herald, 23 December 1873, 7.

“Mrs. Agnes Vedder, a young prima donna, made her début last night at De Garmo’s Hall. In ‘Robert, tri [sic] que j’aime,’ she achieved a genuine success by the freshness and purity of her voice, the intelligence of her interpretation and the high culture of her school.”
