Burlesque of Merchant of Venice Draws Mixed Reviews
A verbose burlesque performance offended many with its lack of originality and reliance on crude parodies of popular melodies. Shylock the pawnbroker delivered humor under a coarse design, while Portia became a landlady of a public house. Despite criticisms, audience taste showed clear approval and strong reception. Paris Italian Opera opened with Lucia di Lammermoor featuring Salvi, Ronconi, and Persiani in key roles.
