Review in The New York Times:

METROPOLITAN OPERA HOUSE

The woes of "II Trovatore," Leonora, Azucena, and the Count of Luna were once more portrayed at the Metropolitan Opera House last night before an audience of moderate size and apathetic disposition. The cast was the same as that heretofore heard in this opera. Mme. Alwina Valleria repeated her painstaking and praiseworthy interpretation of the rôle of the miserable heroine, and Signor Kaschmann's dramatic and virile performance of Il Conte was once more presented. The audience was pleased with them both, endeavoring to encore more than one of Mme. Valleria's songs and compelling Signor Kaschmann to repeat the familiar "Il balen." Mme. Trebelli's Azucena is a strong work dramatically and vocally, and was heard again with many signs of genuine pleasure. Signor Stagno exhibited his two qualities of voice in Manrico, and M. Augier was the Ferrando. The chorus was effective throughout, but the orchestra was prolific in noise, and in what Chorley calls the "screaming stretto" of the first act drowned out the voices of the singers.
