“Miss Soldene and her company last evening interpreted ‘Chilpéric’ at the Lyceum Theatre. The welcome extended to these artists was unusually cordial, and, indeed, few performances in our recollection have passed off with greater brio or amid greater enthusiasm.”

Review: New York Post, 01 June 1875, 2.

“The Soldene English Opera Bouffe troupe reappeared last evening at the Lyceum Theatre, presenting Hervé’s rather thin work, ‘Chilperic,’ with all their accustomed spirit. The scenery was bright, and the costumes gorgeous. An enthusiastic audience witnessed the performance.”
