Review: New York Herald, 20 December 1864, 4.
Brief review, almost impossible to read.  Says this was the eleventh performance of the opera, though the announcement the day before said it was the tenth. “The tenor was in excellent voice, sounding better, we think, than any previous performance and was very fully appreciated.”
