Pierre Frédéric Malevergne

Pierre-Frederic Malevergne (or Malavergne or Malovergne; 1810, France — 1872, Russian Empire) was a French dancer who worked in Russia.

He received an invitation from the Russian Imperial troupe and arrived to Saint Petersburg in 1831.

[3][5] Monsieur Frédéric became a solo performer of many parties in ballets by such choreographers as Charles Didelot and Marius Petipa, among others.

He became a choreographer himself; his greatest work was Paquita[1][5][6][7][8] together with Marius Petipa in 1847, Saint Petersburg (Bolshoi Kamenny Theatre) and 1848, Moscow (Bolshoi Theatre) with Yelena Andreyanova in the main party.

An historian of Russian ballet Alexander Pleshcheyev [ru] wrote (Our ballet: 1673-1899): The art of Choreography suffered a great loss in the face of the deceased in Moscow as a dance teacher in the school, old man Frederick Malovergne (ru: «Хореографическое искусство понесло большую потерю в лице скончавшегося в Москве учителя танцев в школе, старика Фредерика Маловерн»[9]).
