About the House

Abstract

Abstract A good bit of the journalistic ink expended on the Paris Opera during the July Monarchy was devoted to the ballet-pantomimes created there. In this ballet journalism there are several types of comments which on first reading might strike one as very odd-and far harder to digest than the oft-quoted and readily understandable snippets about such matters as nascent pointe technique, the decreasing importance of the male dancer, and the new ethereal dancing style of Marie Taglioni. Because of their potential for affording new insight, or at least for offering an interesting confrontation with the ‘otherness’ of the past, these strange comments seem particularly intriguing.
