komentář:

Details of this event was published in the daily news section of Národní listy 22/2/1863. The source reported: ‘Lenten entertainments [Postní zábavy]. For the whole of Lent musical entertainment will take place in the Konvikt Hall each Sunday and holiday, in which will participate the well-known orchestra of the Royal Infantry Regiment of the King of Prussia Vilém I. First of these entertainments already takes place today.’

Národní listy 22/2/1863 also published an advertisement for this event giving a further indication of the type of entertainment and occasion. Notable was the reference to the evening aiming to be free of politics and hence, presumably, national biased. The source announced:
