Article on Grover's German Opera Season

 "New York, May 8. . . . The German Opera company has given us, during the short period of two weeks that has elapsed since its opening, a selection of works of the highest caliber, including ‘Fidelio,’ the ‘Magic Flute,’ the ‘Huguenots,’ the ‘Jewess,’ and ‘Faust,’ besides ‘Martha,’ &c.  Since last season, this company, from continually playing together, has even improved on the already fine ensemble which it presented, in concerted pieces, chorus, and orchestra, while its individual members appear much the same; though we note a decided improvement in Mr. Weinlich’s vocal method, due perhaps, to his recent practice with the Italian Opera troupe.  To be quite satisfactory, Mr. Grover’s company only needs a prima donna of first-class merit, and perhaps two or three alterations and improvements in the artist who fill the other principal positions.  We trust that German Opera has now become a permanent institution among us.”
