description The author turns to an anecdote about Warsaw ballet dancers visiting St Petersburg upon the invitation of the Russian tsar, who was enchanted by the mazurka woven by the choreographer Roman Turczynowicz into a performance of Le Diable à quatre (1847). The story is evoked by Henryk Liński in the second volume of his monograph book Taniec [Dance] (ed. Mateusz Gliński, Warsaw, 1930). The present author verifies it by investigating archive sources in Poland and – thanks to Joanna Sibilska, a student at St. Petersburg Conservatory – in Russian. She establishes the exact date and location of the Warsaw performance and cites the critic Antoni Lesznowski’s opinon about it. New details concerning the dates of the performances in Russia and names of dancers are revealed: apart from Jan Popiel, whose name is mentioned by Liński, the group that travelled to St. Petersburg included Filipina Damse, Józefina Karska, Honorata Stolpe, Karolina Straus, Arnold Gillert, Antoni Kwiatkowski, Hipolit Meunier, as well as two understudies: Antonina Koćmierowska and Leopold Majewski. The researchers reconstruct the details of their guest repertoire (including performances with Carlotta Grisi, Jules Perrot, and Marius Petipa) and its reception, as well as its impact on the St. Petersburg stage.
