Amalia Ferraris 
in Graziosa

The day after the third and final performance of Tannhäuser, Amalia Ferraris created the title role in Graziosa, a one-act ballet choreographed by either Marius or Lucien Petipa [souces vary], with music by Théodore Labarre and Joseph Derley. This latter name cloaked the identity of comte Roger de Sainte-Marie, a young and elegant member of the Jockey Club. The action of the ballet was set in the public square of a small town near Naples in the days of Spanish rule.
