In the News (Tue 29 Dec 09)

  
  Jules Perrot (1810-1892)
Jules Perrot (1810-1892), a famous dancer and choreographer, was a student of August Vestris and Salatore Vigano.
Perrot is most famous today because, at the suggestion of Benjamin Lumley, he got four of the greatest ballerinas of the romantic period to dance together in the ballet Pas de Quartre (1845).
Perrot, who was a strong believer in democracy, felt the restrictions of the Tzar's rule a burden, and returned to Paris in 1859.

In 1834 while in Naples as a part of this tour, she met the dancer-choreographer Jules Perrot (1810-1892) who was at that time still officially working at the Paris Opera with his Swedish-born Italian partner, Maria Taglioni (1804-1884).
Although Perrot had choreographed all the solo numbers for Carlotta for her title role as Giselle, he was given no credit for his work in the ballet.
Perrot had the difficult task of making each ballerina look her best: if she could turn, he had her turn, if she jumped, he had her jump.

French choreographer Pierre Lacotte, a restorer of undeservedly forgotten gems of 19th-century choreography, is reviving the original version of Jules Perrot’s romantic ballet “Ondine” at the Mariinsky Theater.
Set to the music of Cesare Pugni, the two-act ballet was originally choreographed by Jules Perrot in 1843 at London’s Royal Opera House (Covent Garden).

If anyone were keeping score of current productions, Jules Perrot would seem to be one of nineteenth-century ballet's least prolific big-name choreographers.
Ballet Iowa unveiled one answer to that question in its season opener: Nayada and the Fisherman, a boy-meets-mermaid tale Perrot created in 1843 as Ondine, ou La Naiade.
Despite all that mileage, Uralsky estimates that about 80 percent of the remaining choreography is original Perrot.
