Performance history in South Africa
1866: Performed as The Little Sentinel by the Le Roy-Duret Company in the Theatre Royal, Harrington Street, Cape Town, on 12 September, with Mrs Duret in the leading role of "May". Also performed were a new dance performance and a production of the local play Governor van Noot, or Things as They Were (C. Utting). The programme was possibly repeated on 13 and 17 September, on the latter occasion as a benefit evening for Utting.
1866: Performed as part of a "Grand Gala Night" in the Harrington Street Theatre, Cape Town on 22 September by the Le Roy and Duret Company with The Queen of the Abruzzi (Coyne) and Don Juan (described as a "Magnificent Ballet" , it was probably a company version of Gluck and Calzabigi's Don Juan, ou Le Festin de Pierre).
