Henriette Schlosser
in Graziosa

On 25 March 1861, the day after the third and final performance of Tannhäuser, Amalia Ferraris created the title role in Graziosa, a one-act ballet by either Lucien or Marius Petipa [sources vary], with music by Théodore Labarre and scenario by Joseph Derley. This latter name cloaked the identity of comte Roger de Sainte-Marie, a young and elegant member of the Jockey Club.

The action of the ballet was set in the public square of a small town near Naples in the days of Spanish rule.
