Review: New-Yorker Staats-Zeitung und Herold, 16 September 1866, 8.

“Der Kapellmeister” was a well-attended but disappointing performance. Instead of a comical but decent operetta, the audience was presented with a farce-like parody in Berlin dialect; instead of Grisar’s graceful music, some worn-out melodies from various operas and old songs were played. The performance itself went well except for some of the chorus pieces.
