- Biography (note)
- Bayaderes, or the temple dancers known in their native India as devadasis, held great allure for nineteenth-century Europe. Marie Taglioni, perhaps best known in the title role of La sylphide, danced the bayadere Zoloé in Daniel Auber's opera Le dieu et la bayadère in 1830. The English version of this opera, The maid of Cashmere, also enjoyed great success. A performing group from India, called Les bayadères, appeared in Paris in 1838, eliciting rave reviews from Théophile Gautier for its leading dancer, Amani. At the end of the century, Marius Petipa again returned to the subject for his ballet La bayadère (1877). This lithograph exploits the exotic aura of the bayaderes while costuming them in modest attire, befitting the fact that this type of sheet music was intended for use in the home.
