1308 - L Apr. 13:4/5 - The opera opened last night and was musically a
brilliant and complete success. Carl Formes, who made his debut in the
part of "Plunkett," acted and sang with a most captivating abandon, and
brusquerie. Castri was never in better voice. Iler encore was "The Last . .
Rose of Summer." Tonight's opera is Verdi's UN BALL0 IN MASCHERA.

1309 - L Apr. 14:4/3 - The opera, UN BALL0 IN MASCHERA, was given in
grand style last night. Due to terribly rainy weather the crowds were kept
away. Madame Lorini as "Amelia" surpassed herself. Stefani did justice
to his high reputation, and Castri made a charming and attractive "Oscar." "
