“Such of our readers as have not yet heard Mlle. Parepa would do well to seize one of these remaining opportunities. There is but one opinion concerning the truly admirable quality of her voice. We have never had a better cantatrice in this country. It is a pleasure to listen to her.”

Review: New York Post, 29 September 1865, 2.

“Another crowded and delighted audience filled Irving Hall last night to hear Parepa, who was dressed in quite a unique style, and sang with her usual brilliancy.  The ‘Parepa Waltz’ is fast becoming one of the essential elements of these concerts and is rivalling the ‘Venzano’ and the ‘Bacio’ in popularity.”

Review: New-York Times, 29 September 1865, 4.

Brief. “Last evening’s entertainment at Irving Hall was unusually successful.  Mlle. Parepa never sang better.  The dense crowd applauded vociferously.”
