Jules Perrot’s Russian wife: What is she?
Abstract
The article is devoted to an unknown page of Jules Perrot’s biography, namely his private life and his marriage to Capitoline Samovskaya (Vorobjevskaya). Practically no information has survived about Perrot’s Russian wife; historians of romantic ballet (Ivor Guest and Vera Krasovskaya) speak briefly about her without citing any sources. Her traces can be traced on the basis of a detailed research in the archives of the Russian State Historical Archive (RGIA). The fact that she was a dancer with the Imperial Company and some milestones of her stage career can be traced.
