The opera “has achieved a very marked and decided success.”
“This evening commences the second season. . . . We hazard nothing in saying that the performance of this work is superior to that of any opera produced for several years. . . . [P]erformed tonight for the last time.”
“ [A] very large audience considering the bad weather. Miss Kellogg sang with infinite spirit and admirable taste. . . . Rovere and Bellini seemed to strive to rival each other in the breadth and quality of their humor. The duet (quasi trio) in the third act was irresistible in its fun. . . . The duet between Kellogg and Rovere was a gem in every respect.”
