| Ballerina, born in Copenhagen, Denmark. Making her official debut in 1829, she studied and worked in the Royal Danish Ballet with Auguste Bournonville until 1839. She then gave guest performances throughout Europe. Retiring from dancing in 1856, she was ballet mistress at the Leipzig State Theatre (1858–61) and the Munich Court Opera (1869–75), where she assisted Richard Wagner in the production of Das Rheingold and Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg. A street in Munich is named after her. |
