Resources	No Title, The South Australian Register, National Library of Australia, 16 January 1841, 2 This fine building, finished by Mr E. Solomon at an expense of nearly £10,000, was opened on Monday last, by an effective and well-organised company under the experienced management of Mr Lazar—well known and much respected as the conductor of the theatrical amusements of Sydney. the theatre is neatly fitted up, and admirably arranged for seeing and hearing. The decoartions are designed and executed by Mr Opie, and reflect much credit on his skill as an artist. We did not reach the theatre until nearly the close of the tragedy (Othello), and can therefore venture to express no opinion on the particular merits of the actors—although we presume it would be in accordance with that of the audience, which was most favorable. Miss Lazar's dance was exceedingly graceful, and met a deserved and [?] encore. This young lady would be an acquisition to any theatre, as, in adiditon to her talent in the ballet, her acting in the after piece, Mary Anne, a farce of Buckstone's, was excellent. She was well-supported by Mr Buckingham, and by the other actors. The house was crowded in every part.
