“The increasing favor which seems to follow each performance of Petrella’s comic opera, the ‘Carnival of Venice’ and which culminated in an overflowing attendance at the matinee on Saturday will probably suggest to Mr. Maretzek its early repetition.  It is indeed full of just that fluent, merry music, which must please the ladies who patronize our matinees.”
