Review: New-Yorker Staats-Zeitung und Herold, 20 May 1866, 4.

The performance was very well done. The solo singers of the chorus did not just sing but also acted excellently, which can not be expected of amateurs. In addition the choruses worked well together and made the best impression. The auditorium was too small to accommodate everybody comfortably, although only members and press were admitted.

Review: New-Yorker Musik-Zeitung, 21 May 1866, 253.

A well performed event. Soloists as well as orchestra and chorus did very well. Female solo parts were sung by Petzold, Haak and Krehbiel, male solo parts by Steins, Bischoff and Schönfeld. The event was well attended.
