Giuseppina Bozzachi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Giuseppina Bozzachi (23 November 1853 - 23 November 1870) was an Italian-French ballerina.
She created the role of Swanhilda in Léo Delibes' ballet Coppélia on 25 May 1870, aged only 16. She danced the role only 18 times before the Paris Opéra closed for the duration of the war with Prussia.
Without food or money, she caught cholera, which was spreading through Paris and died on the morning of her 17th birthday.
