Antonietta Dell'Era (10 February 1860—?) was an Italian prima ballerina best known for originating the role of the Sugar Plum Fairy in Tchaikovsky's ballet, The Nutcracker (1892). The St. Petersberg premiere sold out. She received five curtain calls and good reviews. Modest Tchaikovsky described her as "pudgy and unattractive". Dell'Era had a successful career at the Berlin Opera. In 1886 she moved to St. Petersberg along with the "Italian Invasion" - an influx of talented Italian dancers to Russia that included Pierina Legnani, Enrico Cecchetti, and Virginia Zucchi.[1]
Dell'Era was born in Milan.[2]
