Review: New York Clipper, 18 February 1865, 358.
“a new play has been produced. . . It is founded on the well-known opera of ‘Trovatore,’ and many of the airs which have become ‘as familiar in the mouth as household worlds’ are given in capital style by the orchestra. The different members of the company perform the roles assigned them, in their usual style.”
