Biography
Edvard Helsted was born in Copenhagen and trained as a violinist. He worked in the Royal Chapel from 1838 to 1869, first as an orchestra member and then after 1863 as concert master. He resigned in 1869 for health reasons.[1]
With Holger Simon Paulli, Helsted wrote Acts I and III of August Bournonville's ballet Napoli (1842). Later, he and Paulli would collaborate on another Bournonville ballet and one of his most popular, the 1858 Blomsterfesten i Genzano (Flower Festival in Genzano).[2] Other ballet scores by Helsted are Toreadoran (1840) and Kirsten Piil (1845).
