Born in Sweden on 23 April 1804, partially of Italian descent, Taglioni spent most of her life between the Austrian Empire and France. She became a central figure in European dance history, commanding stages at London's Her Majesty's Theatre and the Paris Opera Ballet's Théâtre de l'Académie Royale de Musique. The Romantic ballet era was cultivated primarily at those two houses, and she was its brightest star. Her technique - especially the question of whether she pioneered sustained pointe work - remains part of dance lore. She died 22 April 1884, the day before her eightieth birthday, having spent a lifetime airborne.
