Very brief mention. “It has been performed all the week to full houses.”

Review: New York Clipper, 22 November 1862, 255.

Not sure which performance of Zauberflöte this review refers to.  “’The Magic Flute’ shows what Carl Anschutz can do.”

Review: Dwight's Journal of Music, 29 November 1862, 280.
Doesn’t mention a specific performance. “With all our admiration for the music, we found it difficult to enjoy Mozart’s celebrated work. Surely, he was wanting in the respect he owed to his own genius, he carried complaisance too far, when he accepted such a foolish libretto.”
