General review of Fidelio – doesn’t mention a specific date. “’Fidelio’ has . . . been the great success of the season. Madame Johannsen singing and acting the part superbly. This lady has been in oblivion and Philadelphia for some years back, but now resumes lyric life and is vastly increasing her reputation. The tenor, Lotti, acts and sings as if he were frightened to death. Weinlich, the basso, is admirable as Rocco.”
