Performance history in South Africa

1895: Performed by the Ancarina Massimimi Italian Opera Company in the Opera House, Cape Town, early in the year. Though the company's performances in its extensive repertoire were considered excellent performers by Boonzaier (1923), he says that the company failed to gain much public support and that the entire undertaking was "a disastrous failure".
