Scene from the Ballet of "La Bresilienne" at the Royal Italian Opera House, Covent Garden, 1858. Creator: Thomas Wilson. Scene from the Ballet of "La Bresilienne" at the Royal Italian Opera House, Covent Garden, 1858
Scene from the Ballet of "La Bresilienne" at the Royal Italian Opera House, Covent Garden, [London], 1858. This pretty little ballet...has sustained its character well throughout the greater part of this season. The ballet of "La Bresilienne" is not quite new, having been brought out in the latter part of the season previous to this; but a charm has been given to it by the graceful dancing of Mdlle. Zina Richard, who made her first appearance in London this season. Her attitudes are truly elegant, blended with such lightness as almost to astonish the spectator. In her character she is ably supported by Mdlle. Deleschaux and Monsieur Desplaces. Our representation shows the point in which the lovely Indian is fascinating the naval stranger. In the background is the beautiful scene by Mr. Beverley. Our clever little danseuse is from the Imperial Academy of St. Petersburg, in which city she has gained much applause; as also in Paris. We understand that she is engaged for the next three years at the Royal Italian Opera House'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858
