==The original text==
 
 
 
Based on ''[[La Fille du Régiment]]''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_fille_du_r%C3%A9giment] (''[[La Figlia del Reggimento]]'' in the Italian version), an opera in two acts by Gaetano Donizetti (1797-1848), with a French libretto by Jules Henry Vernoy de Saint-Georges, ‎Jean François Alfred Bayard (first performed in French on 11 February 1840 by the Paris Opéra-Comique at the Salle de la Bourse).
 
 
 
Fitzball's play was first performed at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, London, in May 28th 1844. 
 
Published by J. Dicks in the series Dicks' standard plays (no. 761) in 1883(?)

1875: A "musical comedietta" called ''[[The Daughter of the Regiment]]'' was performed on 23 June, by [[Disney Roebuck]] and company in the [[Bijou Theatre]], Cape Town, with the ''[[The Day after the Wedding]]'' (Kemble) and  ''[[Princess Pocahontas]]'' (Anon).  No author is specified for the musical, so  the text in question could be any one of the three English stage plays from the 19th century based on the opera - though [[F.C.L. Bosman|Bosman]] (1980, p.509) confusingly suggests it was the text by Fitzball, though referring the reader to the Stirling text called ''[[Madeleine, or The Daughter of the Regiment]]''. 
 
 
 
1875: Performed again as ''[[The Daughter of the Regiment]]'' by [[Disney Roebuck]] and company in the [[Bijou Theatre]], Cape Town, on 26 June, with a recital of ''[[The Charge of the Light Brigade]]''  (Tennyson) by [[Miss Berenger]] and  the two act drama ''[[Ben Bolt]]'' (Johnstone).
 
 
 
1875: Performed again as ''[[The Daughter of the Regiment]]'' by [[Disney Roebuck]] and company in the [[Bijou Theatre]], Cape Town, on 9 September, with a dance by [[Miss Duggan]] and ''[[Lost in London]]'' (Phillips).
 
 
 
1878: Performed on 19 June, as ''[[The Daughter of the Regiment (Fitzball)|The Daughter of the Regiment]]'' (and specifically ascribed to Fitzball, with music by Donizetti) by [[Disney Roebuck]] and company in the [[Theatre Royal]], Cape Town, with the ''[[The Day after the Wedding]]'' (Kemble) and  ''[[Princess Pocahontas]]'' (Anon).
