Neither specified Dalibor report contained details of the programme of works performed at this production. However, the Dalibor 10/8/1859 review, which covered the whole series of 1859 Conservatory examinations, both vocal and instrumental, listed those instrumentalists who were examined on this occasion and ‘performed difficult parts particularly excellently.’ They were Josef Sedláček (cornet), František Horák and Václav Stodola (tbn), Karl Schwarz (trp), Josef Nemanský and Alois Vitovský (hn), J. Mašek (bn), Josef Meyer (cl), J.F. Bauer and Karel Macháč (ob), Josef Procházka (fl), Em. Storch and František Šimandl (db), and the ‘greatly talented’ Alois Karel (vc).
