TAGLIONI, MARIA (1804-1884) , Italian ballet dancer, daughter of Filippo Taglioni (1777-1871), master of the ballet at Stockholm, Cassel, Vienna and Warsaw , was born at Stock-holm on the 23rd of April 1804. She was trained by her father, who is said to have been pitilessly severe. It was to his care and her own special
appearance was at Vienna on the loth of June 1822, in a ballet of which her father was the author, La Reception d'une jeune nymphe d la tour de Terpsichore. Her'success was immediate, and was repeated in the chief
fascination in Meyer-beer's Robert le Diable, and in La Fille du Danube. Al this period the ballet was an important feature in opera, but with her retirement in 1847 the era of grand ballets may be said to have closed. In 1832 she married Comte Gilbert de Voisins, by whom she had two children. Losing her savings in speculation, she afterwards supported herself in London as a teacher of deportment, especially in connexion with the ceremony of presentation at court. During the last two years of her life she lived with her son at Marseilles, where she died on the 23rd of April 1884. Taglioni is frequently mentioned in the novels of Balzac; and Thackeray
