As a child, this dancer played a son of a king in Vincenzo Galeotti's Lagertha and Adonia in Solomon's Judgment. He later choreographed a work containing a reproduction of dance classes he had earlier attended, The Dancing School. His Zulma was inspired by the Crystal Palace, and he created a work set in his own country about a noble child switched with a troll, A Folk Tale. Adrian, Geert, and Carelis each receive a gift at the title fair in his Kermesse in Bruges, and one ballet he choreographed, inspired by a trip to Italy, ends with the marriage of the fisherman Gennaro and Teresina. Another of his choreographic works displaced an original by Filippo Taglioni set to music by Jean-Madeleine Schneitzhoeffer, where James, a Scottish peasant, enlists the help of the witch Madge to get the title nymph to stay with him. For 10 points, name this 19th century director of the Royal Danish Ballet who choreographed Napoli and La Sylphide.
