1848: A "tragic scene" by this name formed part of an evening's performance in the [[Garrison Theatre]], Cape Town by [[Thêàtre de L'Union]] on 24 February, 1848, also featuring the farce ''[[Les Ressources de Jonathas]]''.  Given the title, it was possibly performed in English rather than the original French.
