character brief introduction

Anna Pavlova was born in a poor family in Ligovo, a suburb of St. Petersburg. Pavlova loved the art of ballet because her mother took her to the Imperial Maria Theater to watch a show by Marius? After the performance of "Sleeping Beauty" created and performed by Petipa, the young Pavlova was deeply impressed by its luxurious scene and decided to learn ballet.

In 1891, at the age of 10, he entered the Imperial Ballet School of St. Petersburg. Her first performance at school was as Cupid, the goddess of love, in "The Story of a Fairy" directed by ballet master Petipa. As a student, Pavlova's sensitive style and poetic way attracted much attention. In 1898, she performed at the former chief female dancer of the Maria Theater in St. Petersburg Under Wazem's training, he refined his classical ballet techniques. In her final year at the Imperial Ballet School, she performed many major roles and performed solos, performing minor roles in many major ballets during this period. After 9 years of hard training, she graduated in 1899 and joined the Imperial Ballet at the age of 18 as a group dance lead dancer. She performed for the first time in the Imperial Ballet by Pavel?

The romantic ballet "Eoria" composed by Perot. Her performance was well received by critics, especially the great critic and historian Nikolai Bezobrazov.

On the one hand, Russian ballet has inherited the great tradition laid down by Papeti and Ivanov in the 19th century, and on the other hand, marked by Fokin's creative activities, has entered a new period of change that reached its glorious peak in the "Russian performance season" of Dagilev. These factors have firmly rooted Anna Pavlova in the fertile soil of classical ballet, and actively supported and participated in the new ballet reform movement. It is these factors that have created her artistic characteristics and performance style. Anna Pavlova is also known as the "Queen of Ballet".
