Review 1:
Review in The New York Times:
The concert at the Metropolitan Opera House last evening was attended by a smaller audience than its predecessors, but the entertainment was interesting and was received with continuous applause. The ladies, as usual, found most favor with the audience and must, moreover, be credited with the most artistic work. Mme. Trebelli sang "Di tanti palpiti," from "Tancredi," in a noble manner. The magnificent tones of her lower register were never heard to better advantage, and she was recalled with great enthusiasm. She afterwards repeated her now familiar rendering of the brindisi from "Lucrezia Borgia" in superb style. Mme. Valleria gave a very charming interpretation of the "Selva opaca" from "William Tell." On being recalled she sang the "Last Rose of Summer" with exquisite taste. Later in the evening she was heard in a pretty song called "Who Knows?" written for her by F. H. Cowen. Mlle. Louise Lablache sang "Comin' thro' the rye," which she embellished with some ornamentation not quite in the ballad style. Mme. Valleria, Mlle. Lablache, and Mme. Lablache were heard in the pretty trio "Le faccio un inchino," from Cimarosa's "Matrimonio segreto." Signor Novara gave a tasteful rendering of Molloy's ballad "London Bridge." Signor Del Puente sang an aria from "Ernani" with excellent effect, and M. Capoul was sufficiently emotional in the "Air du sommeil," from "La Muette de Portici." Signor Mattioli played a violoncello concerto, and the orchestra played Nicolai's overture to the "Merry Wives of Windsor" and the "Tannhäuser" march.
