“Last performance in America of the original Giroflé-Girofla.”
2)
“The final farewell performance of the most successful of the opéra bouffe repertoire, Lecocq’s sparkling ‘Giroflé-Girofla,’ took place last night at Terrace Garden before a large audience. Mlle. Geoffroy sustained the dual title rôle with her accustomed chic and élan, and the tenor, De Quercy, was as ferocious a Moor as ever.”
