Pavlova origins [Australia]

"The famous Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova toured Australia twice,

the second time in 1929 including Perth in her itinerary. While there she stayed at the Esplanade Hotel, one of the leading establishments in the city. Six years late in 1935 Elizabeth Paxton, owner of the hotel, requested her chef create some delicacies to attract the ladies of Perth to the Esplanade for afternoon tea. So it was that Herbert Sachse, born on the goldfields of Western Australia, failed wheat farmer turned cook, came to invent the meringue cake which is now recognised as Australia's national dessert. When the  cake  was presented, the hotel manager Harry Nairn declared that it was as "light as  Pavlova ," and the name stuck."How to Cook a Galah, Laurel Evelyn Dyson [Lothian:Melbourne Australia] 2002 (p. 160)

Uncertain background

Anna Pavlova was born on January 31, 1881, in

St. Petersburg, Russia, the daughter of Lyubov Feodorovna, a washerwoman. Her father's identity is not known. When Anna was very small, her mother married reserve soldier Matvey Pavlov, who died when Anna was two years old. She and her mother were very poor, and they spent the summers with Anna's grandmother. According to Pavlova, she wanted to be a dancer from the age of eight, when she attended a performance of The Sleeping Beauty at the Maryinsky Theatre. Two years later she was accepted as a student at St. Petersburg's Imperial Ballet School. This school for classical dancers offered its students lifelong material protection; the czar (the ruler of Russia) Alexander III (1845–1894) was its main supporter. In return, the school demanded complete physical dedication.

Busy touring schedule


Pavlova's first of many tours (it

is estimated that she traveled over four hundred thousand miles in the days before air travel and was seen by millions) was to Moscow, Russia, in 1907. In February 1910 Pavlova, performing with the brawny Moscow dancer Mikhail Mordkin (1880–1944), made her first appearance in America, at the Metropolitan Opera House. Most of the American audiences had never before seen classical ballet, and critics did not know how to describe what Pavlova did on stage, although all agreed that it was wonderful.

A beauty swan

Although Pavlova's performances changed and were influenced by exposure

to foreign cultures and new methods of dancing, she remained a somewhat conservative (not trying many new things) performer. Her company continued to perform several of the great ballet classics, such as Giselle and The Sleeping Beauty; her own popular signature pieces were the Bacchanale, a duet created by her former fellow-student Mikhail Fokine, and her eerily beautiful The Swan.

WHAT’S “PAVLOVA”?


Both Australia and New Zealand claim Pavlova as their

own. Which is correct? That's still a topic of debate. Both sides agree that the cake was named after Anna Pavlova, a famous Russian ballerina.

Notes here:“Pavlova”, a type of meringue cake which has a soft

marshmallow centre, achieved by the addition of a little cornflour and teaspoonful or so of vinegar and teaspoonful or lemon juice to the meringe mixture after the sugar is folded in...The pavlova has been described as Australia's national dish, but it is also claimed by New Zealand. According to the Australian claim, it was invented in 1935 by Herbert Sachse, an Australian chef, and named by Harry Narin of the Esplanade Hotel, Perth, after Anna Pavlova, the Russian ballerina who visited both countries in 1926. The built-up sides of the pavlova are said to suggest a tutu
