“The reprise of Fra Diavolo, by the Richings Opera Troupe, showed a marked improvement in many respects over its first representation. There was a pretty fair audience at the Olympic Theatre, and the dashing brigand chief, with his two disreputable henchmen, the guileless, trusting Zerlina; the whiskered and ‘positively shocking’ English tourist and his coquettish wife were all received with favor. The choruses were given with élan and spirit.”
