“Mme. Larmet, an actress of marked ability, assumed the title role, and fought bravely through the endless declamatory scenes with which the play is interspersed. She was efficiently supported by her fellow artists, among whom M. Hurot-Levassor distinguished himself particularly by his singing of the bacchanalian rondo in the last act.”
