“Women are particularly invited to purchase their tickets in advance, with the aim of avoiding trouble, since a large crowd is expected.”
“Today there will be a matinée, on which occasion ‘Don Sebastian’ will be repeated for the last time. The extraordinary attendance last Saturday, and the many applications for a repetition, have induced Mr. Maretzek to make this concesion to his patrons. He could not have done better. If the weather is only decent the house will be crowded.”
“The pleasant weather yesterday induced a large audience to hear Don Sebastian for the last time. The matinee was well and fashionably attended, and the opera was given with its usual cast and in the same excellent manner as before. Zucchi and Massimiliani sang well—the latter rather better than usual, with the exception of the introduction of too much tremolo in the romanza in the second act, which was not an improvement. The present season will close with the coming week.”
