Mistakenly says: “Der Wildschütz will be repeated for the third time.” This was the 4th performance.

“Lortzing’s ‘Poacher’ was charmingly given with frequent encores. Herr Graff, as the Liebe Schulemeister, gives as good a specimen of the buffo style as we have had here for many years. In the billiard scene, where he roars out a psalm tune while the tenor and basso are playing at billiards, and in the closing scene, where he leads his scholars in singing a ludicrous prayer, he is especially amusing. The introduction of a billiard table on an operatic stage is a novelty worth seeing, while the singing of Johannsen, Quint and Schaumburg is well worth hearing.”
