Fra Diavolo at the Boston Theatre Auber opera review
The Ideal company at the Boston Theatre delivered Fra Diavolo with mixed success. George Appleby looked the part but lacked vocal strength. Clement Bainbridge acted well as Lord Allcash while Harriet Avery showed a weak first act aria. The robbers offered routine comedy and the chorus struggled, prompting a poor reception before Tonight's Bohemian Girl.
