Hinweis der Redaktion

  1. Born “malformed” for dance. Not very pretty. Public persona: shy, chaste, ethereal. Trained by father. Danced for Paris Opera, eventually left to tour internationally.
  2. Taglioni’sriva! From Vienna, Austria. Known for bravura, beauty and sex appeal.
  3. By Jules Perrot. Brought together the 4 greats of the day. Big time DIVAS!!! Lots of rivalry… Elssler turned it down and was replaced by Fanny Cerrito. They danced in order of age/seniority to avoid further conflicts
  4. Behavior in Spain was a bit scandalous.
  5. Petipa used power of popularity to unseat St-Leon. St Leon backed MafraMuravieva;Petipa backed wife. Public rivalry between the ballerinas.Magic Mirror- fasions had changed. Public looking for something newLa Bayadere- Prince of Wales had visited India
  6. Classical v RomanticFor centuries men had dominated the stage, Now men had to carry around the ballerina and show her off and then jump and turn.Stages harkened back to the royal spectacles of Louis IVX.Grand pas de deux, corps frames principals
  7. Could play entire score of ballet by ear. School director had no patience for his love of music.Ivanov was modest and indecisive. Petipa egotistical and controlling.
