Bigottini, Émilie. (1784-1858). Autograph Letter to Lise Noblet. A very fine autograph letter from one celebrated dancer to another. Addressed to Mlle. Noblet and dated 1824. Interesting content, regarding their friendship and, apparently, Noblet's request to Bigottini for career or artistic advice.
The daughter of Francois Bigottini, the celebrated "arlequin" of the Comédie-Italienne de Paris, Bigottini joined the Opéra de Paris at the age of 17 and starred there until 1823. Acclaimed for her fine artistic taste and graceful precision, she created many roles in the ballets of Louis Millon. Napoleon Bonaparte was among her most fervent admirers.
Lise Noblet, (b. 1801, Paris; d. 1852, paris) was another French ballerina who joined the Paris Opera Ballet in 1816 and was a principal guest artist at the King's Theatre in London from 1821 - 1824. Her best remembered roles were Fenella in La Muette de Portici, 1828, and Effie, the Scottish girl abandoned by her sweetheart, in F. Taglioni's La Sylphide, in which Marie Taglioni danced the title role. Although not as "otherwordly" as other admired dancers, Noblet's style "was marked by a voluptuous quality in her movements, great lightness and elegance in her poses." Guest (1980).
