New-Yorker Stadt-Theater Opera; Lucinde vom Theater

Full cast list with roles.

“‘Lucinde vom Theater,’ a farce new to America by Pohl with music by Conradi, was given last night for the first time at the Stadttheater before a fair audience. As with most of the farces coming out of Berlin now, ‘Lucinde’ cannot be said to have a real plot, only a number of scenes that have makeshift connections to each other. But ‘Lucinde vom Theater’ surpasses many pieces of its kind in that the scenes and main characters are plausible. [Continues about the plot.]  A rewarding, brilliant, but also certainly strenuous role is the soubrette ‘Hermine Stresow,’ which Fräulein Lina Mayr plays excellently. Through her acting, but especially through her singing, she enchanted the audience, which demanded many encores. Fräulein Heynold, Herr Witt, Herr Schütz, and the others were also excellent.”
