Carlotta Grisi

Answer 1

The ballerina you are referring to is **Carlotta Grisi**. She was past her prime during a performance in Russia and was upstaged by a pupil of her husband, the famous ballet master Jules Perrot. Grisi is best known for her role in "Giselle," and her later performances were overshadowed by the talents of younger dancers.
