1810 1884 Austrian Ballet Dancer Fanny Jules Elssler Perrot
EDITORS COMMENTS
Fanny Elssler and Jules Perrot in the captivating performance of La Castilliana Bolero from Le Delire d'un Peintre (1884). This iconic image captures the essence of Austrian ballet dancer Fanny Elssler (1810-1884) in her prime, as she gracefully dances with her partner, Jules Perrot. Elssler, a trailblazer in the world of ballet, was renowned for her expressive and dramatic style, which was a departure from the rigid and formal techniques of the time. In this photograph, Elssler is seen wearing a military-inspired uniform, adding an element of surprise and intrigue to her performance. The uniform, adorned with gold braid and buttons, accentuates her slender figure and enhances the strength and power of her movements. Her partner, Jules Perrot, a French ballet master and choreographer, supports her with a steady and confident presence, allowing Elssler to fully embody the passionate and fiery spirit of the Castilliana character. La Castilliana Bolero was one of Elssler's most famous performances, and it premiered in Vienna in 1836. The ballet, which was set to music by Daniel Auber, told the story of a gypsy girl who was in love with a soldier, and it showcased Elssler's incredible talent and versatility as a dancer. The photograph, taken in 1884, captures a moment in time when Elssler's legacy as a groundbreaking and captivating performer was already well established. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of ballet and the enduring influence of Fanny Elssler and Jules Perrot on the art form. It is a reminder of the power of dance to transport us to another time and place, and to evoke emotions that transcend language and culture.
