| − | It was probably a burlesque of ''[[The Rose of Castille]]'' (or ''[[The Rose of Castile]]''), an opera in three acts, with music by Michael William Balfe, to an English-language libretto by Augustus Glossop Harris and Edmund Falconer, after the libretto by Adolphe d'Ennery and Clairville (alias of Louis-François Nicolaïe (1811–1879)) for Adolphe Adam's Le muletier de Tolède (1854). It was premiered on 29 October 1857, at the Lyceum Theatre, London.

| − | The title of the burlesque clearly derives from a punning riddle about Balfe's successful opera, which first started circulating about six years after the opera's first performance (i.e. "Question: What opera is like a railway line (or tramway line)? Answer: ''Rows of Cast steel''"). The pun was later made famous by James Joyce's use of it in a scene in ''Ullyses''[http://www.jjon.org/joyce-s-allusions/rose-of-castile], and in some ways has become more enduring than Edwardes's the play.
