''[[Rob Roy Macgregor]]'' is an opera by William Henry Murray, in association with Walter Scott.

'''See also [[Rob Roy]]'''

==The original text==

Adapted from the novel ''[[Rob Roy]]'' (1817) by Sir Walter Scott , the play was the most successful of many based on the Scott novel.

First performed on March 12, 1818 at the Theatre Royal Covent Garden , and published in London by John Miller in 1818; in New York by D. Longworth, 1818.

== Performance history in South Africa ==

A play called ''[[Rob Roy MacGregor Campbell]]'', said to be based on Scott's novel, was performed a number of times in the [[African Theatre]], Cape Town by the amateur company [[English Theatricals]] in the years 1823-24 (it is later simply referred to a ''[[Rob Roy]]'' in the sources). It is most likely that this was the widely known and published Pocock musical version, but it may have been the William Henry Murray version, entitled ''[[Rob Roy Macgregor]]'', which had been devised in association with Scott and was performed in Edinburgh in 1818.
