Coralli, Jean (sh)




orig. Giovanni Coralli Peracini

born Jan. 15, 1779, Paris, France
died May 1, 1854, Paris

French dancer and choreographer.

He made his debut at the Paris Opera in 1802. His appointment as ballet master at the Opera (1831-50) coincided with the most brilliant phase of the Romantic ballet. In 1841 Coralli began to work with the ballerina Carlotta Grisi in Giselle, now regarded as a classic. Although attributed solely to Coralli, most of its principal action was arranged by Jules Perrot. The choreography of La Peri (1843), however, was entirely Coralli's.
