Madame Joconde

This July, Paris pays homage to the 19th-century French ballet dancer Constance-Hippolyte Gosselin, known as Madame Anatole, with a special event titled Madame Joconde. Gosselin debuted at the Opéra de Paris in 1810 and became première danseuse in 1822, known for her elegant and discrete style suited to serious roles.

Attendees can expect a celebration of classical ballet, reflecting the grace and artistry of Gosselin's era. The event draws on her legacy, including her performances in ballets by Pierre Gardel and Jean-Pierre Aumer, and her triumphal tour to London in 1822.

Set in the heart of Paris, this event offers a unique opportunity to experience the refinement of 19th-century ballet, honoring a dancer who once captivated audiences at the Opéra de Paris.
