Louis Gallodier

When the French troupe was fired in 1771 by Gustav III of Sweden, who wanted to found a national stage with native actors, the dancers of the French theatre were excluded from being fired.

When the Swedish Royal Ballet was founded in 1773, several of them, such as the ballerina Ninon Dubois le Clerc, was to be a part of its first troupe, and Gallodier was made its first ballet master.

Elisabeth Soligny, his colleague from the French troupe, was often paired with him in the Ballets.

Gallodier also composed several dances to ballets and operas.

Louis Gallodier was in 1762-84 married to the Italian opera singer Gasparine Becheroni, active at the Italian opera company in Stockholm; in 1792 to the Swedish ballerina Judith Christina Brelin (1770–1794), and from 1796 with Marie Louise Du Londel (1776–1847), daughter of Louis Du Londel and Marguerite Morel of the Du Londel Troupe.
