The Cagli Italian Opera Company was a visiting company, headed by Signor Cagli and active in Cape Town during 1875-6.

Signor Cagli rented the half-completed new venue in the Cape Town Institute and Club in Burg Street and completed the renovations in 1875, the company opening the new 1500 seater theatre on 11 November with a season of Italian opera and ballet that ended in April 1876. Cagli released the Burg Street Theatre to Roebuck in May 1876 and presumably departed soon after.
