"The first performance of the play was by the Ackermannschen Gesellschaft in Hamburg on 23 August 1774.
It is based on the offer of marriage that the Canarian writer José Clavijo y Fajardo made to the sister of Beaumarchais.
During the 1970s, Clavigo was adapted as a TV movie." - (en.wikipedia.org 22.09.2019)
