Marie Taglioni
MARIE TAGLIONI
Marie Taglioni was one of the greatest ballerinas in the Romantic era who lived between 1804 and 1884. Although she was born in Stockholm, she lived in Paris with her mother while her father, Filippo Taglioni, a dancer and choreographer was on tour. She was the oldest of the ballerinas of that era and she was one of the reasons why the Romantic era became such a landmark. Although her surname, Taglioni, was very famous even before her time, her unique performance style accompanied with strength and delicacy brought about her own fame of the name Taglioni.
She studies in Coulon at the Paris Opera where her father thought she was unfit for her debut by him in Vienna. Before her first appearance in 1822, he coached her vigorously for almost six hours a day. Through her hard work and dedication to ballet, she bedazzled the audience as she posed as a poetic, graceful dancer. From 1827, she danced at the Opera where she performed in such works as La Sylphide, which was
