Theodor and Wilhelm Formes, after all the quarrels, have joined Grover’s opera society. Wilhelm has already performed as Don Giovanni, and Theodor should perform in the near future. About Wilhelm’s success we have not heard anything yet. By the way, both brothers have been offered engagements with Grover for a while which they rejected out of piety to their brother Carl who is in dispute with some members of the ensemble.
