Biography
Biography
Lycette Darsonval is the half-sister of dancer Serge Perrault. Dancer in the street in Montmartre, she was spotted and entered the Paris Opera at the age of 23, where, a pupil of Nicola Guerra, she became one of the most prominent performers of the "Lifar generation", promoted to the rank as a prima ballerina in 1940. The title of star not being official until 1941, Solange Schwarz and Lycette Darsonval were the first dancers to bear this title. Two bronzes by Jacques Gestalder representing Lycette Darsonval are exhibited at the Bettencourt-Schueller foundation in Neuilly-sur-Seine. A portrait of Lycette Darsonval was painted by Serge Ivanoff.
