Inventory of the Marie Taglioni Collection Inventory of the Marie Taglioni Collection 2010 Introduction Marie Taglioni (1804-1884) is one of the most legendary dancers in history. As Sylphide she has created the archetype of the romantic ballerina: ethereal, apparently weightless, in contact with the earth only through the tips of her toes. Though it is hard to determine the degree of novelty in her pointe technique, it is certain that she brought the art of toe tip virtuosity to an unprecedented level, and created a new expressive style. The historical value of this collection cannot be separated from the sentimental value which it has for ballet lovers. The most valuable and informative object is no doubt the pair of dancing shoes; it dates from a rather early moment in her career (1829), and is remarkable in showing no strengthening at the tip. Together these objects may serve to illuminate aspects of Taglioni’s career. This has been done in an extensive web presentation, which has been published at the same time as this inventory: Marie Taglioni (1804-1884): A life on toe tip.* History of the collection Until July 2010 the objects 1-13 and 15 had been stored in one archive box labelled “Attributen Maria Taglioni”. The box contained no further data; nor was there within living memory any knowledge regarding provenance. A number of letters written by Marie Taglioni were found however as part of the D.F. Scheurleer collection in the so- called Brievencollectie, a collection of letters not associated with specific archives. It is likely that most of these letters and the other objects have at some time been acquired by D.F. Scheurleer as one lot. The only clues to the collection’s history before that date are those within the collection itself. Most of the letters are addressed to a Baron Meynadier, and at least two of the objects (nrs. 2 and 9) were a present to him. Baron Meynadier can be identified as Gabriel-Louis-Hippolyte Meynadier, Baron de Flamalens. Besides being the author of a study on city planning (Paris sous le point de vue pittoresque et monumental, 1843), he has been described as ancien chef du bureau des théâtres au département des Beaux- Arts.** Vaillat 1942 calls him secretary to Vicomte Sosthène de La Rochefoucauld, director of the royal theatres. Baron Meynadier introduced Marie Taglioni to her Parisian colleagues and established a contact with the shoemaker Janssen (Vaillat 1942, p. 120- 121). From the correspondence we learn that their friendship lasted into the 1860’s. It is likely that Meynadier received most of the objects in this collection as gifts from Taglioni. The ribbons (14) suggest that the collection has at some time during the 20th Century been on display in the Netherlands. Preservation The most fragile objects, the shoes and the fans, were found to be in fairly good condition. Advice has been sought on the fans from Mrs Jannie J.H. Polak, formerly curator of the Felix Tal fan collection; it was decided to keep them stored in folded condition, and they should not be opened without good reason. The shoes have been repacked with protective filling through the kind assistance of Mrs Foekje Boersma, Senior Advisor Preservation of the Nationaal Archief, The Hague. All objects have been repacked into two boxes.

Full item numbers: 496/01 etc. 01 Dance shoes Materials: leather, satin, linen (?), various Measurements: sole: length 23 cm, width 3 cm in the middle, 4 cm at the tip; vamp: 8 cm; height from inner sole to vamp (at the drawstring): 4,5 cm. Date: worn in 1829 Physical description: Pair of ballet shoes. Soles and inner soles leather; the upper part consists of thin leather on the heel section (‘quarter’), linen (?) on the toe section, the whole covered in white satin. Drawstring and ribbons (the ribbons of one shoe are missing). The date 1829 is inscribed on both inner soles. The satin is partly torn on the heel section of one shoe. Historical context: Since 1827, the year of her Paris debut, Marie Taglioni had her shoes made by a shoemaker named Janssen, supplier to the Paris Opéra. Notable are the tapered tips without reinforcement. 02 Gloves Materials: leather Measurements: length 34,8 cm Date: worn in 1835 Physical description: Pair of white leather gloves. The left glove is partly turned inside out; on the inside is written in (largely faded) ink: Gants mis le 8. avril 1835 / par Mlle Taglioni […?] / pour danser le menuet / avec M. Vestris. / Donnés par elle à son / ami Hippolyte Meynadier / le 25 avril 1835. / Marie Taglioni (Taglioni’s signature). Accompanied by a note with similar contents. Historical context: The occasion was a performance for Marie Taglioni’s benefit. One item on the programme was a minuet and gavotte danced in rococo costume by Taglioni and 75 year old Auguste Vestris. 03 Garters (?) Materials: metal, leather, thread Measurements: length: 22,5 cm Physical description: Pair of garters (?), consisting of a metal stretchable spiral covered with leather. One is broken, the other is decorated with a yellow silk ribbon. 3 04 Castanets Materials: wood, rope Measurements: 6,5 cm (without attachment) Physical description: Pair of castanets, tied together with rope Historical context: A Spanish dance with castanets was part of the ballet La Gitana (1838). With this, Taglioni had a kind of revenge on Fanny Elssler, who was famous for her ‘cachucha’, and in that same year had infringed upon Taglioni’s territory by dancing the role Taglioni was most strongly associated with, that of Sylphide. 05 Fan Materials: wooden sticks and guards, double paper leaf, bone (plaque) Measurements: height 23,8 cm; span 38 cm Date: 1798 (?) Physical description: Folding fan with wooden sticks and double paper leaf, printed. There are small tears at the edges and one large tear lengthwise on a fold; one stick is broken. Decoration: in a medallion The New Egyptian Dance Fan for 1799; three vignettes of female dancers; 20 dance tunes arranged in four rows. Dance instructions are given below the tunes. British Navy New A Trip to General Lakes Waltz Royal Reel, or Nelsons Alexandria Volunteers Fancy thro the Nile* Croppies Lie London Toulon Fleet Sweating down** Beauties Doctor Scotch Fencibles Gipsey Hat** Sir Sidney Smith’s Little Patty Escape Windsor Camp** Turkish Target Reel* Village Hop Allemand* The Stranger Buonaparte’s Knights of Malta ** Irish Expedition** Invasion** Historical context: Fans with collections of ‘hot’ dancing tunes seem to have been a fashion of the 1790’s. Similar fans, decorated with containing tunes, dance instructions and vignettes, may be found in collections and auction catalogues; cf. British museum 1893 Nrs. 15, 48, 50, 51, 61 (image in Percival 1920, p. 123) and Percival 1920 p. 122. Some of the tunes on this fan refer to political-military topics of the French Revolutionary Wars and Irish Rebellion. ‘Egyptian’ refers to Napoleon’s failed campaign in Egypt. In May 1798 the French fleet had sailed from Toulon to Alexandria. In a naval battle at Aboukir Bay (near Alexandria) they were defeated by the British under the command of Horatio Nelson in August 1798. Napoleon personally left Egypt August 1799. General Gerard Lake, who is honoured with a waltz (third column), commanded British forces during the French-supported Irish Rebellion of 1798. Admiral Sir Sidney Smith (lower in the same column) was captured by the French in Le Havre and imprisoned in Paris, until he escaped with royalist help in 1798. Best known of these songs – and still politically sensitive – is Croppies Lie down, which celebrates the suppression of the Irish Rebellion. 4 Some of the tunes may be found in alternative sources: * Twenty-four fashionable country dances for the year 1799, with their proper figures as performed at court, Bath. and all public assemblys. 1799. Boston: Reprinted and sold by W. Norman. ** Twenty Four New Country Dances for the Year 1799.: With proper Directions to each Dance, etc. 1799. London: Printed for T. Skillern. 06 Fan Materials: wooden sticks and guards, double paper leaf Measurements: height 28 cm, span 46,5 cm Date: ca 1790 Physical description: Folding fan with wooden sticks and double paper leaf, printed and hand coloured. Decoration: on the left: a score fragment titled Air: de Raoul de Créqui; centre: a scene from the opera; on the right: texts of airs of Bathilde and Eloi. Historical context: The fragments are from Raoul, sire de Créqui, a work by Nicolas Dalayrac (1753-1809) with libretto by J.M.B. de Monvel. The opera was premiered on October 31 1789 in Paris, and a date close to that premiere is probable. Maybe the fact that Salvatore Viganò made a ballet after this opera (1791) is relevant; Filippo Taglioni has been a member of his company, and another item in this collection (08) refers directly to Viganò. 07 Box Materials: wood with engraving in unidentified technique, lacquer Measurements: diameter 8,2 cm Date: 1810 or shortly after Physical description: Lid of a round wooden box (?) decorated with a female figure (Cendrillon) with tambourine; in the background on what appears to be a folding screen melody and text of an air headed Cendrillon. Historical context: Cendrillon, opéra féerie en trois actes is a composition by Nicolas (Nicolò) Isouard (1773-1818) on a libretto by Charles Guillaume Etienne.

    * Incorporare il fantastico: Marie Taglioni Elena Cervellati ([email protected]) Il balletto fantastico e Marie Taglioni Negli anni Trenta dell'Ottocento in alcuni grandi teatri istituzionali europei fioriscono balletti in grado di raccogliere e fare precipitare in una forma visibile istanze che percorrono, proprio in quegli anni, diversi ambiti della cultura, della società, del sentire, consolidando e facendo diventare norma un certo modo di trovare temi e personaggi, di strutturare tessuti drammaturgici, di costruire il mondo in cui l'azione si svolgerà, di danzare. Mondi altri con cui chi vive sulla terra può entrare in relazione, passaggi dallo stato di veglia a sogni densi di avvenimenti, incantesimi e malefici, esseri fatti di nebbia e di luce, ombre e spiriti impalpabili, creature volanti, esseri umani che assumono sembianze animali, oggetti inanimati che prendono vita e forme antropomorfe trovano nello spettacolo coreico e nel corpo danzante di quegli anni un luogo di elezione, andando a costituire uno dei tratti fondamentali del balletto romantico. Il danzatore abita i mondi proposti dalla “magnifica evasione” 1 offerta dal balletto e ne è al tempo stesso creatore primo. È capace di azioni sorprendenti, analoghe a quelle dell’acrobata che “poursuit sa propre perfection à travers la réussite de l’acte prodigieux qui met en valeur toutes les ressources de son corps”2.

    Le Fabuleux Destin du Docteur Véron, Vesalius, X, I, 20-24, 2004 Le Fabuleux Destin du Docteur Véron Claude A Planchon Résumé Extraordinaire odyssée que celui du Docteur Louis-Désiré Véron (1798-1867), Interne des Hôpitaux de Paris. Déçu par la médecine en un temps où l'on ne pouvait faire carrière à Paris sans « être bien-né », il prend une étonnante revanche sur la société, après avoir fait fortune par hasard dans la pharmacie. Il innove dans le journalisme en tant que précurseur de la publicité médicale. Il dirige, de main de maître, l'Opéra de Paris, rue Le Peletier, de 1831 à 1835, l'une des plus beiles périodes. Il y crée notamment, pour le lyrique, « Robert le Diable », de Meyerbeer et « La Sylphide », de Filippo Taglioni, l'une des pièces maîtresses du ballet romantique, interprétée par la propre fille du chorégraphe, MarieTaglioni.Véron en sera le protecteur. Malgré un physique ingrat, compensé par un esprit hors du commun,Véron séduira Rachel, la plus grande tragédienne du Théâtre-Français de I' époque. Summary The life of Doctor Louis-Desire Veron (1798-1867) was an incredible odyssey. Starting his professional life as an 'Interne des Hopitaux de Paris', he found himself unable to enter the medical establishment at a time when it was practically impossible to succeed in Parisian society without having being born into a wealthy family. He was eventually able to take his revenge on Paris when he had made a fortune from pharmacy. He became the head of the Le Pelletier Paris Opera (183 1-1835), in one of the most brilliant periods of opera history, with productions of Robert le Diable by Meyerbeer and La Sylphide, a ballet choreographed by FilippoTaglioni.This latter was first interpreted by Marie, the prima ballerina daughter of Taglioni.

  • Teaching-Motor Features of Dance According to the Technique of the “Divine” Taglioni
    International Quarterly of Sport Science 2009/4 TEACHING-MOTOR FEATURES OF DANCE ACCORDING TO THE TECHNIQUE OF THE “DIVINE” TAGLIONI Maurizio Sibilio & Carmen Palumbo University of Salerno, Department of Educational Sciences [email protected] Abstract This study is a theoretical-argumentative descriptive research aimed to define the main features of the technique and the possible links of the “extreme” use of the pointe shoe by Maria Taglioni taking into account her biographical aspects and the historical context. The life of Taglioni and her art were characterized by a constant research of the limit, using the pointe shoe to lift and evolve the movement, the posture, the behavior and the steps. The results of this study show how in the Nineteenth Century the classic ballet was continuously looking for the perfection, since it could not count on the engineering devices and on the current complex light games, which make you doubt about the real concreteness and existence of what is played on the stage, but only on the perfect movements and on the coordination. Key words: pointe technique, body limits, classical ballet A remark on the evolution of the ballet which points up the topic of the “sense of limit” needs an heuristic effort to study its romantic connotation during the nineteenth Century and the possible exasperation of the research of the technical and biomechanics limits came out with the pointe technique of the ballet. A research which has a specific hermeneutical approach cannot ignore Maria Taglioni (Stockholm 1804 – Marseilles 1884), who was a dancer of the romantic ballet and who exalted and improved the pointe technique, celebrating its expressive potential.

  • Primeiro Ato
    PRIMEIRO ATO Lucienne Ellem Martins Coutinho1 RESUMO Descreverei a história da Dança Clássica no Brasil, desde a sua entrada no Rio de Janeiro até sua chegada em Belém do Pará. Tratarei o Ballet de Cour, o Ballet Romântico, o Ballet Clássico e o Ballet Neoclássico, conforme sugere Eugenio Barba2, como técnicas corporais extra-cotidianas. A conceituação de cada Ballet possibilitará a compreensão da introdução e da difusão técnica da dança, no Brasil. Palavras-chave: Dança Clássica; Ballet de Cour; Ballet Romântico; Ballet Clássico; Ballet Neoclássico BRASIL: A DANÇA CLÁSSICA ENTRA EM CENA As companhias de Ópera vindas da Europa, no final do século XIX, que se encontravam em turnê pela América do Sul, optavam por se apresentarem nas principais capitais do Brasil. Constituíam-se de instrumentistas, bailarinos, atores, cantores e principalmente, a equipe de apoio. Cabe destacar que a dança, geralmente, era vista entre um e outro ato da Ópera, não se configurando como um espetáculo completo. Já no início do século XX, os Ballets Russes de Serge Diaghilev3 (ver fig.1) e a Companhia de Anna Pavlova4 (ver fig.2), apresentaram-se de forma brilhante no Brasil. 1 Mestranda em Artes.

  • History of Cecchetti
    History of Cecchetti ENRICO CECCHETTI, the Student Enrico Cecchetti was born in a dressing room of a theatre in Rome on the 21st of June, 1850. Young Enrico's stage debut occurred as an infant in his father's arms. Although his parents wanted for him a career in business or law, Enrico was determined to be a dancer and finally convinced his parents of his great desire and dedication. Trained in the rudiments of ballet by his father, Enrico was sent for further training to Giovanni Lepri who prepared accomplished dancers. He also studied with two more of his father's colleagues, Cesare Coppini, who taught at the prestigious La Scala in Milan, and Filippo Taglioni, father of the celebrated ballerina, Marie Taglioni. All of Cecchetti's teachers had been trained by Carlo Blasis. This early training created a background for Enrico Cecchetti's method of teaching following the lines of Blasis' own theory. Blasis had codified his teaching methods in the book Traite Elementaire, Technique et Practise de Art de la Danse, published in 1820. ENRICO CECCHETTI, the Professional Dancer Cecchetti began touring Europe in his late teens, and at age 20 had his debut on the stage of La Scala in Milan. He was an instant success! Throughout his career, he received rave reviews and accolades and was considered the finest male dancer of his time. At the height of his career, he migrated to St. Petersburg. While performing in Russia, he captivated his audiences with brilliant feats of batterie, amazing leaps, and multiple pirouettes. He was hired to perform as Premier Danseur, to be Maitre de Ballet with the Maryinsky Ballet and to teach at the Imperial Ballet School (1887-1902).
