“The Orchestra, under the direction of the distinguished composer and conductor, Mr. Robert Stoepel, will perform a variety of new music including, for the first time in New York, a Grand Fantasia, with solos, on Meyerbeer’s new opera ‘L’Africane,’ by R. Stoepel.”
Music not mentioned; Clarke noted as a favorite, drawing “a full and appreciative audience.”
No mention of music. “Winter Garden. The season was inaugurated brilliantly at this theatre last night. . . . [T]he house was crowded with an audience unquestionably metropolitan in character—an audience as daintily bonneted and gloved and appreciative as any that the season will see.”
Includes excerpts from reviews in the Herald, the Times, and the World, all focusing on Clarke. No mention of music.
No music mentioned. “When Mr. Clarke appeared the applause was equal to anything we ever before heard bestowed upon any artiste. The applause lasted for several minutes, and Mr. Clarke attempted to speak, but the furore grew louder. It was a great triumph.”
