Rigoletto received five performances this season.
All company records indicate that Spetrino conducted this performance, but an article in The New York Times reports that Toscanini took over for his colleague, who had suffered an injury. The Brooklyn Daily Eagle wrote that "Mr. Spetrino conducted with fire, discretion and great skill," words of praise that may in fact have been earned by Toscanini.
