Note 43 — Chapter VI · OPERA IN THE UNITED STATES. PART I: NEW YORK
Reading edition
The novelties were Strakosch's Giovanna di Napoli and Donizetti's Parisina and Maria di Rohan, while there was an oasis in the desert in the shape of Freischütz. When his lease at the Astor Place house expired Maretzek continued his operatic career in a more or less irregular way at Castle Garden and Niblo's. He produced Verdi's Luisa Miller for the first time in America at the former place and at the latter he introduced Meyerbeer's Prophète.
