About Madame Montessu

  • Pauline-Euphrosine Paul (5 June 1803 in Marseille – 1 August 1877 in Amiens) was a French ballet dancer.
  • She married the dancer Laurent-François-Alexandre Montessu in 1821 and was thus also known as Madame Montessu.
  • She was the sister and student of the noted dancer Paul before being admitted to the Ballet de l'OpĂ©ra de Paris, where she dĂ©buted on 17 July 1820 beside him.
  • She was première danseuse until 1836, when she retired, although she continued to put on productions here and there, notably at Amsterdam in 1840, with AndrĂ© Isidore Carey. She created the roles of La Fille mal gardĂ©e (1828) and Manon Lescaut by Jean-Pierre Aumer (1830).
