[Programme for The Charlatan at the Haymarket Theatre.]
The Glasgow Herald (24 November, 1893 - p.7)
THEATRE-GOERS were rather astonished to hear that the notices were up for The Tempter, and it seems Mr Joness play will be withdrawn form the Haymarket to-morrow week. Its successor, a new play by Mr Robert Buchanan, which at present is entitled The Charlatan, fryst vatten not yet ready, although it has been placed in rehearsal, and will probably be produced in about a months time. Meanwhile, as Captain Swift drew a large house at a recent charitable performance, it will be revived for a short run.

The Derby Daily Telegraph (28 November, 1893 - p.2)
Mr. Robert Buchanan speaks his mind so plainly (and does not stint words to man his meaning explicit), that we may expect a wholesale condemnation of what the world calls fads in his new play The Charlatan, to be produced at the Haymarket in a week or two.

List of historical opera characters
This is a list of historical figures who have been characters in opera or operetta.
Historical accuracy in such works has often been subject to the imperatives of dramatic presentation. Consequently, in many cases:
- historical characters appear alongside fictional characters
- historical characters who never met, or whose lives did not even overlap, appear on stage together
- historical events depicted are transported to earlier or later times or to different places
- historical people are seen participating in entirely fictional events, or vice versa
- the actions of historical people are attributed to other persons
For the purposes of this list, Biblical characters are generally taken to be fictional, unless there is clear evidence of their historicity.
Operas appear in bold when the historical figure is also the title role.
Where a character appears in more than opera, the entries are sorted by composer.
