Superstition and Anna Pavlova
Anna Pavlova was known to be a
superstitious dancer – not uncommon for her time. She requested to be carried
over the threshold when entering a theater for the first time to avoid any bad
luck that might await her. Also, she would never look at images of herself on
posters or advertisements.
The Palace Theatre in London that opened
in 1891 is believed to be haunted by Pavlova’s ghost, along with several other ghosts (for details see
this article : https://australianballet.com.au/behind-ballet/very-supersitious
). Witnesses claim to see an apparation that looks like Pavlova on the theater’s
stage.
