GRAND OPERA SUCCESS IN THE UNITED STATES

1870 After a few fuctuating seasons
another place was selected, the Rich
mord Hill theater. in 1892. The house
had been transformed from a private
residence that had been occupied by
Aaron Burr. The seasons under Man
ager Du Ponte failed; but, notwith-
standing, he persuaded a number OF
rich men to erect the italian Opera
House, specially constructed with a
view Of pre- 5enting opera of the Italian
school The house was at the corner
OF Church and Leonard streets. 1t
