Pauline l'Allemand gave the first American performance of Delibes' opera "Lakme" at the Academy of Music in Philadelphia on November 17 1886. This quotation from the opera which was sung in English was thus penned two days after the opening. Born in Syracuse NY Pauline l'Allemand 1856-1944 made her debut as an operatic soprano in Stratton's "The Fairy Grotto" at Wieting Opera House in her home town. She subsequently studied singing in Dresden Stuttgart and Paris. After successfully touring in Europe she returned to America performing "Lakme" in Philadelphia. After her attempt to create her own opera company failed she retired to a farm in Black River Falls Wisconsin with her grown son. They lived in extreme poverty and both were eventually pronounced insane and in 1920 were remanded to the Mendota State Hospital for the insane in Madison Wisconsin. L'Allemand was memorialized in the cult classic "Wisconsin Death Trip" by Charles Van Schaick and Michael Lesy. Rare. Philadelphia, PA: 19th November, 1886. unknown

The Brau Italian Opera Company began a six week engagement at the Boston Academy of Music on February 9th. This was the last time that what became "The Boston Theatre" was called "The Academy of Music". Among the singers were Madame Lorini Mlle Morensi Signor Maccaferri Signor Susini Mademoiselle Cordier Signor Dubreul etc. The November 15 1862 New York Herald review of an earlier performance of "Norma" at the Academy of Music possibly the Brooklyn Academy of Music in that case highly praises the quality of the Soprano's voice "It follows as a matter of course from what we have just stated that Madame Lorini's debut last night was a success. She had sung but a few passages when the audience recognized the beautiful quality of her voice--pure round and fresh--and though not as powerful as one would wish to hear in Norma still with volume sufficient to give a perfect interpretation of the music of the part. Her method is excellent and exhibits evidence of her Italian training." [Boston]: Transcript Job Printing Office, 1863.
