Légende

Madame Celeste, 1856. French dancer and actress who '...appeared at the Theatre Royal, Liverpool, as Fenella in "Masaniello", and exhibited those lights and shades of excellence which have since characterised her acting in so extraordinary a degree, though, at this particular period, she was almost wholly ignorant of the English language...on her reappearance at Drury Lane Theatre - so arbitrary is public taste - she was triumphantly received in the choregraphic exhibition that, but a few years before, had been pronounced a failure...We have spoken of Madame Celeste in her capacity of actress only, but this sketch would be considered incomplete by all who have the happiness to know her as a friend, or to be guided by her as a directress, did we not say - briefly, but most honestly - that one more amiable, kind, considerate, and generous, does not adorn any class of society'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856.
