Notes:
The Academy of Music was a New York City opera house, located on the northeast corner of East 14th Street and Irving Place in Manhattan. The 4,000-seat hall opened on October 2, 1854. The review in The New York Times declared it to be an acoustical \"triumph\", but \"In every other aspect ... a decided failure,\" complaining about the architecture, interior design and the closeness of the seating; although a follow-up several days later relented a bit, saying that the theater \"looked more cheerful, and in every way more effective\" than it had on opening night.

The Academy\'s opera season became the center of social life for New York\'s elite, with the oldest and most prominent families owning seats in the theater\'s boxes. The opera house was destroyed by fire in 1866 and subsequently rebuilt, but it was supplanted as the city\'s premier opera venue in 1883 by the Metropolitan Opera House at 1411 Broadway between 39th and 40th Streets – created by the nouveaux riches who had been frozen out of the Academy – and ceased presenting opera in 1886, turning instead to vaudeville. It was demolished in 1926 to make way for the Consolidated Edison Building. (ref. wikipedia)
