Pauline Leroux
Adèle- Louise- Pauline Leroux( 19 August 1809–5 February 1891) was a French dancer and ballerina of the 19th- century Romantic ballet era and a member of the Paris Opera Ballet.
Born in Paris, she was the daughter of Louis- Bénigne- Marie Leroux, Commissioner of War, and Marguerite- Suzanne( née Lecocq).
Her older sister Antoinette- Désirée Leroux( 1807-?) had been a dancer at the Opera from 1821 to 1827, while her sister Aminthe Delisle- Leroux( 1815- 1878) was an actress.
On 12 July 1848 she married the actor Pierre- Chéri Lafont( 1797- 1873).
Leroux was a pupil of Auguste Vestris and Jean- François Coulon and was a member of the Paris Opera Ballet from 1826 to 1837, then from 1840 to 1844 to replace foreign celebrities like Marie Taglioni and Fanny Elssler.
She then joined full international tours.
Leroux had her first success when she created the role of Marie in" La tentation" by Jean Coralli( 1832), then in Filippo Taglioni's" Leda, the Swiss Milkmaid"( 1832) and triumphed in Coralli's" Le Diable Boiteux"( 1836), then as Uriel in" The Devil in Love" with Joseph Mazilier( 1840).
She danced regularly in London between 1824 and 1833, appearing before a young Princess Victoria who painted watercolour portraits of Leroux as Fenella in" Massaniello" at the Royal Opera House at Covent Garden( 1832), as she appeared in" La Somnambule"( 1833) at the King's Theatre, and as Effie in" La Sylphide", again at the King's Theatre( 1833).
Princess Victoria made a doll of Leroux as she appeared in" Massaniello" and kept it among the over one hundred dolls she made with the help of her governess Baroness Louise Lehzen.
Today this doll remains in the Royal Collection.
In 1841 Leroux danced in the original production of the grand opera" La reine de Chypre" by Fromental Halévy and Jules- Henri Vernoy de Saint- Georges.

Jules-Henri Vernoy de Saint-Georges
Jules-Henri Vernoy de Saint-Georges (7 November 1799 – 23 December 1875), French playwright, was born and died in Paris.
He was one of the most prolific librettists of the 19th century, often working in collaboration with others.
His first work, "Saint-Louis ou les deux dîners" (1823), a comédie en vaudeville written in collaboration with Alexandre Tardif, was followed by a series of operas and ballets.
In 1829 he became manager of the Opéra-Comique at Paris.
Among his more famous libretti are: the ballet "Giselle" (with Théophile Gautier) (1841), the opera "L'éclair" (1835) for Halévy, the opera "La fille du régiment" (with Jean-François Bayard) (1840) for Donizetti, and the opera "La jolie fille de Perth" for Georges Bizet.
Virtually all his opera libretti are for opéras comiques, although "La reine de Chypre" (1841), for Halévy, was a grand opera.
In all Saint-Georges wrote over seventy stage pieces in collaboration with Eugène Scribe and other authors.
He also wrote novels, including "Un Mariage de prince".
Saint-Georges was notably old-fashioned in his approach, typically depending on highly improbable coincidences and twists with little attempt at convincing characterisation.
His tastes were reflected in his personal affectation of 18th-century costume and manners in his everyday life.
Chevalier de Saint-Georges
Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint- Georges( December 25, 1745 – June 10, 1799) was a champion fencer, classical composer, virtuoso violinist, and conductor of the leading symphony orchestra in Paris.

During the French Revolution, the younger Saint- Georges served as a colonel of the Légion St.- Georges, the first all- black regiment in Europe.
He fought on the side of the Republic.
Today the Chevalier de Saint- Georges is best remembered as the first known classical composer of African ancestry; he composed numerous string quartets and other instrumental music, and opera.
