Louis-Stanislas Montjoie

Louis-Stanislas Montjoie (1789 – 1865) was an 18th century French ballet dancer and actor who performed in opéra-ballets at the Opéra de Paris.

[1] Before his debut at the Académie royale de musique (known as Paris Opera), he was at risk of being diverted from dance toward a career in tragedy.

While performing in Le Bourgeois gentilhomme at the Comédie-Française, the renowned actor Fleury, impressed by Montjoie's noble bearing and striking appearance, attempted to persuade him to pursue acting instead, even offering to mentor him personally.

He performed as Saint Phar in Jean Aumer's Aline, reine de Golconde, a ballet premiered on 1 October, 1823 with music by Gustave Dugazon.

[6] In 1837, he starred as a nobleman and friend of the Duke in Clary, a Pantomime Ballet presented in three acts at the Académie royale de musique.
