Yelena Ivanovna Andreyanova

Yelena Ivanovna Andreyanova was a Russian ballerina born in Saint Petersburg on 13 July 1819 and who died in Paris on 26 October 1857. Her life thus falls within the first half of the nineteenth century, a period in which ballet gained prominence on the European stage.

Nothing certain is known about her training, her repertoire or the course of her career, so any broader assessment of her trajectory requires consulting complementary sources. What is documented is the connection between her native country and the French capital, where she died.
