“Grand opening night. New burlesque opera of The Hugenot [sic]. Entirely refitted, redecorated, and enlarged, at an expense of $10,000. The grandest place in the world. Must be seen to be appreciated. The only place of the kind known. Immense talent engaged for the occasion. Seventy ladies and gents in the opera, besides songs, glees, duets and choruses.”
