Review: New York Post, 07 February 1865.
“ [The opera] was given to a full, but not crowded or very enthusiastic house. The principal parts were effectively sung by Zucchi, Morensi, Massimiliani and Bellini, all of whom were in excellent voice. The last named artist is deservedly growing in popular favor, and he was warmly encored.”
