Review 1:

Review in The New York Times

Fr?ulein Marianne Brandt bade farewell to the operatic stage of America yesterday afternoon in a performance of "Fidelio" at the Metropolitan Opera House. The audience was one of large size and abundant enthusiasm, and the popular mezzo-soprano will depart from the scene of her many successes assured of the public regard. Her singing of Leonore, it must be admitted, plainly cost her some labor, but her heart was in the work and she acquitted herself with high credit. She was ably assisted by Herr Alvary as Florestan, Herr Fischer as Rocco, Herr Heinrich as Pizarro, Frau Seidl as Marcelina, and the chorus and orchestra of the house. Herr Seidl was the conductor of the performance.
