Le Diable boiteux is a ballet in three acts by Jean Coralli, with music by Casimir Gide, which premiered on 1 June 1836 at the Paris Opera.[1][2] The main roles were played by Fanny Elssler, Joseph Mazilier, Amélie Legallois, Pauline Leroux and Jean-Baptiste Barrez. Loosely inspired by the novel of the same name by Lesage, this ballet was the first great success of Coralli who had, until then, mainly re-edited the ballets of other authors. The cachucha performed by Fanny Elssler was a sensational success.[3]
