“‘La Juive’ was given here last night to a house that was only moderately good in point of numbers. It is evident that Halevy’s music is a little too overwrought for the general appreciation of the public.”

“The grand opera of La Juive was produced last night at the Academy for the second time, to a large but not crowded audience, Its performance was characterized by the same excellence which we noted on its first representation. The artists all put forward their best efforts, and the result was a performance of marked excellence.”
