| | Mélanie Hurel as Florine (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | Florine, danced in the past by the very greatest ballerinas, is yet thought of as an ungrateful role, since, as in many aspects of this earthly life of ours, the male of the species has rather more heroic things to do, things that verge on the impossible. |
 | | Florine is a woman, and her lover, at times a bird, at times in his true shape as a man. To please him, she may wish to appear somehow as a bird, though unlike him, she cannot fly. |
 | | Both Florine and the Blue Bird, are prisoners of the tower, the former unwilling, the latter willing, and both are prisoners of their shape. |
