"A fine ballet, representing the four seasons, is another of the good points, but the effect vanishes with a thud when La Belle Alvora, introducing a weird dance, becomes entirely too vulgar for even an Empire audience."
"La Belle is nothing more than an effeminate man, but the audience knows nothing of this until the act is over, when he removes his wig."
