Review: New-York Times, 22 February 1864, 4.

“Maretzek played four times last week, and can boast of two average houses and two bumpers; the latter being drawn forth by ‘Faust’ on Friday; and the ‘Norma’ matinée on Saturday.”

Review: Musical Review and World, 27 February 1864, 71.

“The Italian Opera at the Academy of Music is doing a good business. ‘Faust’ and ‘Norma’ seem to be appreciated most by the public. Signor Brignoli was welcomed with the usual eclat. Siebel (in Faust) and Mephisto have at last come to good terms, at least as far as appearances go, for the papers inform us, that Signor Biachi was married to Miss Suzler before Mayor Gunther.”
