Biographical/historical: The Spanish-born dancer Donato is said to have lost his leg in an accident in a bull-ring. Despite his disability he achieved artistic and financial success as a dancer in various European countries, culminating his career at London's Covent Garden theatre in the winter of 1864-1865. He won praise not only for his execution of virtuosic ballet steps, but for his expertise in manipulating a cape and playing castanets, skills he may have owed to his Spanish heritage. He died of consumption on June 10, 1865.
Cataloging funds provided by Friends of Jerome Robbins Dance Division.
