Franziska Elssler

Franziska Elssler

Austrian ballerina who represents the Romantic ballet era. Commonly known as Fanny, she was born in Vienna. Vibrant and yet with a sensual charm, she rose to fame at the age of 15 at a performance in Naples, and thereafter performed all over the world. Her best known roles were La Fille mal Gardie, but in 1836 she achieved great success at the Paris Opera, dancing the Spanish dance Cachucha in La Lambre Diablo choreographed by Coralli. She was compared to the heavenly Taglioni, who danced in white muslin, and was said to have an earthly beauty. Other notable works include Gypsy, Tarantula, and Esmeralda.
