Marie-Renée Frossard

Marie-Renée Frossard, née Malter, was a French ballerina with an international career.

From 1764 until 1770, she and her spouse were engaged at the Du Londel Troupe in Sweden, where they were regarded as two of the most noted members.

The Frossard couple were among those French artists employed in the first pioneer troupe of the Swedish Royal Ballet.

These French dancers were the first stars of the Swedish Royal Ballet until their native students had matured as artists, and Marie-Renée Frossard, Louis Frossard, Elisabeth Soligny and Ninon Dubois Le Clerc, were referred to as the foundation of the royal ballet.

During the 1774-75 season, they made a success as members of the Sami people in the opera Birger Jarl written by the king himself.
