 ==The [[Cagli Italian Opera Company]] in South Africa==
-A company  known locally as the [[Cagli Italian Opera Company]] stopped in Cape Town in 1875,  probably ''enroute'' from the East. Since no mention is made of a second partner in South African sources, it is assumed that Cagli came to South Africa with his own company, which included the soprano '''[[Margherita Zenoni]]''' (c. 1827–1878)[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margherita_Zenoni], and seemingly played to some success, as his was the first professional [[opera]] company to perform in the city.

-In Cape Town [[Augusto Cagli]] rented the half-completed new venue in the [[Cape Town Institute and Club]] in Burg Street and completed the renovations in 1875, the company opening the new 1500 seater theatre on 11 November with a season of Italian opera and ballet that ended in April 1876. According to Hale (2015), performances of works by Verdi, Donizetti, Rossini, and other renowned composers initially drew large audiences to the theatre and reviews from local critics were enthusiastic. However, this did not last and before the end of the first season attendance had dwindled and did not improve in 1876.

 Cagli released the [[Burg Street Theatre]] to Roebuck in May 1876 and presumably departed soon after, and would later return to India to perform there.
