Abstract
The first half of the twentieth century saw vast changes in American ballet, most of which were reflected at the Metropolitan Opera. The major transformation in the history of the Met Opera Ballet came in 1909 with the opening of its own school, which closed its doors only in 1968. The teaching was primarily in the Italian style and it created dancers of merit who performed at the Met and beyond. The Met Opera Ballet produced occasional stand-alone evenings of ballet, although most of its work was within the context of operas. Rosina Galli, trained at Milan's La Scala, served as both teacher and ballerina at the Met, supported by other fine artists, such as Giuseppe Bonfiglio and Pauline Verhoeven.
