'''Laura et Lenza ou, le troubadour''' is the name of a two-act ballet by Charles-Louis Didelot (1767-1837), a dancer and choreographer who danced the part of Lenza, the troubadour hero.

After his tutelage in Paris he removed to London in 1788, and for the next thirteen years performed and choreographed ballets (notably '''Flore and Zephure''', 1796, which featured dancers on wires, imitating weighlessness--music also by Bossi) in which he appeared with his wife, Marie-Rose Didelot, a ballerina of exceptional talent who won great acclaim in England. The Didelots went to Russia after 1801, where she died in the spring of 1803. He curtailed his dancing in 1806, partly due to the loss of Rose, and partly due to injuries to his leg, but he switched dancing styles, continued to perform, and taught ballet, remaining based in Russia, despite some extended excursions, until his death. | '''Laura et Lenza ou, le troubadour''' is the name of a two-act ballet by Charles-Louis Didelot (1767-1837), a dancer and choreographer who danced the part of Lenza, the troubadour hero.
