Copy of the ad is very poor. Seems to list start time as 8 p.m.
COMMENT: The Rietzel-Noll Orchestra was playing its regular concerts from 7-10 pm, so the NYT 6 pm start time makes more sense.
“A select orchestra of from thirty to forty of the best musicians of the City will perform every night from 7 to 10 o’clock, under the direction of Messrs. Reitzel [sic] & Noll, at the Union-square Music Hall (East end.) Price of admission, 50 cents.
The following extra performance will take place during the present week, to commence at 6 o’clock P.M.:
Tuesday, April 5.—Grand Promenade Concert, consisting of selections from the most popular Operas, Overtures, Dances, Marches, & c., by the orchestra.”
