The director had to appear and entreated as a great favor for himself, that allowed her just one scene [...] "After this scene was the Italian public that Seume portrays here under the Note, in Leipzig have Something similar happened to the singer, became aware of the qualities of Teresa Strinasacchi and the evening ended triumphantly: "and after the piece was over, the horses were hitched from the cart and the singer was driven home through a large part of the city."
