Notes
Biographical/historical: Marie Taglioni is often said to have ushered in the Romantic era of ballet with her portrayal of the ethereal Sylphide in her father Filippo's ballet La sylphide (1832). Her dancing made weightlessness and ineffable grace the hallmarks of the ballerina, and created a fad for supernatural female creatures in ballet.
