Review: New-York Times, 01 December 1862, 6.

“[T]he ‘Poacher’ [was] produced on Thursday night with unequivocal demonstrations of delight. . . . It is one of the heartiest and most uproarious comic operas ever played in New-York, and will richly repay a hearing.”

COMMENT: Most indications are that Zauberflöte was performed on Thursday night. All of the ads and reviews for Friday say that Der Wildschütz was performed for the first time on Friday, November 28. And R: NYH 12/01/62, p.5 says that Wildschütz was performed for the first time on Friday and the second time on Saturday.
