"Rosario Guerrero was according to various
accounts, born in Seville circa 1876-1880. She was famous for
her interpretation of "Carmen" in a dance pantomime
version of the Bizet opera that ran in London at the Alhambra
Theater in 1903/04 (she made her Alhambra debut in 1899)
and which came to New York (The New York Roof Garden, I think)
in 1904.
She was brought to New York in 1903 by Florenz
Ziegfeld
to costar in "The Red Feather" but they had a falling
out, she thought she was to be the star of the show but he brought
her to be star entertainment in the show (Some accounts have
her debuting in the Red Feather and others not.) Her other
great success besides "Carmen" was a dance drama called
"The Dagger and the Rose" aka: "The Rose and the
Dagger."
She was considered a rather "pure"
Spanish dancer, unlike Otero,
who did Spanish and exotic dances and was more famous for being
a courtesan than for anything else. She may have had an affair
with King Leopold of Belgium (who was also one of Otero's famous
royal lovers) because according to an article, he gave her
over $1,000,000 in jewels.
|
| She had at least two regular
partners, M. Volbert, who was her Don Jose in "Carmen"
and I think the first Bandit in "The Dagger and the Rose"
and a later partner, L. Paglieri, whom she married (1906? 1907?.)
The last reference to her I have seen is a performance at the
Marigny in Paris in 1912.
