Commentary:

The Prager Morgenpost 17/10/1858 advertisement announced this event as the ‘Auf Wiedersehen Schluß-Fest’, an epithet undoubtedly referring to the event occurring at the end of the summer concert season. Admission cost 6kr. The text also noted that this was the first performance being given by this ensemble, although whether this refers to at this particular venue or in Prague as a whole, is not clear.
