Clotilde Mafleuroy

[6] Known by her first name on stage, she advanced to the position of première danseuse at the Opéra in 1800, a role she held alongside Mlle Chevigny.

[8] French author and dramatist Alphonse Royer described Clotilde with the following statement: "Her tall and elegant figure offered the image of the ancient Diana.

[10] One of Clotilde's performances in Télémaque dans l'île de Calypso was recounted in the 1802 journals of Mary Berry who commented: "Mdlle Clotilde was Calypso and at first I did not much admire her figure which is remarkably tall but when she came in dressed for hunting she was the exact copy of the statue called the Diana Cacciatrice the drapery of which is open just above the knee and in my life I never saw such perfect legs, nor legs so perfectly resembling those of the Apollo into the attitudes of which they fell a thousand times".

[10] The Parisian dancer married François-Adrien Boieldieu, a French composer and piano professor at the Conservatoire de Paris, on 19 March 1802.

[14] Clotilde's husband left for St. Petersburg, Russia to accept Czar Alexander's offer of composing three operas per year.

[13] Clotilde was cast in Le retour d'Ulysse, alongside Mlle Chevigny, Auguste Vestris, and Mme Gardel, premiering on 27 February 1807.

[22] Her farewell performance at the Opéra on 21 April 1819 included the ballets Adolphe et Clara, Télémaque dans l'île de Calypso, and the Jeunesse d'Henry IV.
