Mme. Hermine Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 Happy 200th birthday today, Marie! :grinning: Link to comment
Pamela Moberg Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 Mme. Hermine, thankyou for that! Owmigawd - I should have remembered - only there has been so much about here lately--- Yes, Taglioni was born in Stockholm this day. Though she was not Swedish at all, well, a quarter, father Italian, mother half Swedish and half Polish. Thankyou for remembering! Link to comment
Alexandra Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 Thanks for this -- I moved it to Dancers from Links (which is just for the daily posting of links to newspaper and magazine articles) We probably don't have anyone here who saw her dance but any thoughts or appreciations of Taglioni would be most appropriate.

carbro Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 Apr. 23 was Will Shakespeare's b'day, too! Link to comment
atm711 Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 Scout's Honor--I did not see her dance --but I do recall the first time I saw the Barre statue of her Sylphide. It was in the home of my teacher at the time, George Chaffee and I could not believe that it was perched atop a staircase post, like an ordinary finial. Link to comment
