Dance career
1879 until 1909, Dell'Era had a successful career at the Berlin Opera,[3] praised by many critics and writers including author and poet Theodor Fontane.[4]
1886 and 1894, she danced in Russia, mainly in St. Petersberg, along with the "Italian Invasion" - an influx of talented Italian dancers to Russia that included Pierina Legnani,[5] Enrico Cecchetti, and Virginia Zucchi.[6][7]
Nutcracker
The St. Petersberg premiere of the Nutcracker sold out.[4][1] Peter Tchaikovsky,[8] the famous Russian composer, was commissioned by mastermind choreographer Marius Petipa to compose the ballet.[4] The Nutcracker Ballet was first presented at the Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg, Russia, on December 17, 1892.[4][9] It was a double premiere together with Tchaikovsky's last opera, Iolanta,. Dell'Era received five curtain calls but the critical reception of the ballet was poor.[8][1] Her critical reception for her role as Aurora in The Sleeping Beauty had been better.[9]
Russian ballet dancer Nicolai Solyannikov thought that Dell'Era's dancing in Nutcracker was awful. "this coarse, ungraceful dancer is much to the German taste".[9]
Ballet reflects political and cultural changes, and dancers were influenced by rise of expressionism and opposition to the rigidity classic ballet during her era of dance.[3]
Legacy
Before her death in 1945, Dell'Era had expressed a wish that her estate should help dancers in need. The Dell'Era-Gedächtnis-Stiftung foundation was established after her death to provide dancers and their families with financial assistance towards living costs and expenses, such as medical costs, training and retraining.[10]
