| − | 1875: A "musical comedietta" called ''[[The Daughter of the Regiment]]'' was performed on 23 June, by [[Disney Roebuck]] and company in the [[Bijou Theatre]], Cape Town, with the ''[[The Day after the Wedding]]'' (Kemble) and ''[[Princess Pocahontas]]'' (Anon). No author is specified for the musical, so the text in question could be any one of the three English stage plays from the 19th century based on the opera - though [[F.C.L. Bosman|Bosman]] (1980, p.509) confusingly suggests it was the text by Fitzball, though referring the reader to the Stirling text called ''[[Madeleine, or The Daughter of the Regiment]]''.
