La Gitana

Choreography by Filippo Taglioni

Music by Hermann Schmidt and Daniel Auber

(Editor's note: it is unlikely that Auber was in Saint Petersburg at the time however, the only source I found, an entry in  The Oxford Dictionary of Dance,

claims that Auber was a contributor. My educated guess is that Schmidt used airs by Auber whilst creating his score however this is unconfirmed. If you have any information 

regarding this please see our contact page.)
