“A very clever and enjoyable performance of ‘Giroflé-Girofla’ was given at Robinson Hall last night in an English form. The company is selected with reference to individual excellence in the various rôles, and, although small in number, they contrive to convey as much of the musical attractiveness of this charming opera as to give satisfaction. Miss Clara Fisher and Miss Louise Franklin, Messrs. Atkins and Jepson in the four principal rôles deserve abundant praise. The chorus and orchestra are not numerous, but evidently understand their work.”

“’Giroflé-Girofla’ receives its last representations at Robinson Hall during the present week. This opera, which in its English dress has made a creditable success and been enabled to keep the stage for the past seven weeks, owes its acceptance, by the public, as much to its handsome presentation by the management and to the accessories, as to its interpretation by the company. The vocal rendition of the leading roles by Miss Clara Fisher and Miss Louise Franklin, who gave the only excellent musical features of the opera, seconded by the comicalities and peculiarities of the other members of this troupe, presents a light and pleasing entertainment which seems to be thoroughly appreciated.”
