First appeared in the Cape in 1847 with his partner [[Signor Severo]], with whom he managed an “[[Italian Circus]]”, which staged a variety of circus-style programmes as well as several pantomimes at the [[Victoria Theatre]] and the [[Garrison Theatre]] in Cape Town. In February 1848, the partners went their separate ways, each with his own circus (case continued with the [[Italian Circus]], [[Signor Severo]] started an [[African Circus]]).

[[Dalle Case]], however, also acted as impresario for a professional French theatre-company (the [[French Dramatic Artistes]]), freshly arrived from Mauritius, which made their debut in the [[Hope Street Theatre]] in 1848 with a show featuring mainly song and dance. However, Case failed to make a financial success of this venture, and the company soon abandoned him, becoming known as [[Theatre de l'Union]]. Shortly thereafter he appears to have left the Cape (and show-business) for adventures in the interior.
