Franca, Celia, 1921?-2007 : Celia Franca was born in London, England, in 1921 and studied dance at the Guildhall School of Music and the Royal Academy of Dancing. She made her debut in London in 1936 and became a soloist with the Ballet Rambert 1936-1938. She was the leading dramatic dancer at Sadler's Wells 1941-1946, a dancer and teacher with Ballet Jooss 1947, and ballet mistress and leading dancer with the Metropolitan Ballet 1947-1949. She choreographed a number of ballets, including Dance of Salomé 1949 and Eve of St. Agnes 1950 for BBC-TV.

In 1950, Celia Franca attended the Canadian Ballet Festival in Montréal at the invitation of a group of Canadians interested in establishing a national ballet company in Canada. She was persuaded to return in 1951 to found and direct the National Ballet of Canada in Toronto. She was a principal dancer with the company until 1959, the year she co-founded the National Ballet School with Betty Oliphant, and its artistic director until 1974. She choreographed a number of ballets for the National Ballet, including versions of The Nutcracker and Cinderella. Under her leadership, the National Ballet developed into an internationally acclaimed ballet company.

After retiring from the National Ballet, Franca settled in Ottawa where her husband, James Morton, was a clarinetist with the National Arts Centre Orchestra. She continued to be active in dance, working as a guest teacher and choreographer with various companies including the Joffrey Ballet in New York and the New Orleans Ballet. She was a founding member of the Board of Directors of the Theatre Ballet of Canada and associated with the School of Dance (Ottawa). She travelled to China in 1978 and 1980 at the invitation of the Chinese government to teach dance. Between 1982 and 1990 she gave lectures and talks on dance at the University of Ottawa.

Franca received many awards and honours in recognition of her contributions to dance in Canada. She was appointed Officer of the Order of Canada in 1967 and was elevated to the rank of Companion in 1985. She was awarded the Molson Prize in 1974. She has received honorary degrees from many Canadian universities, including Mount Allison 1966, Bishop's 1967, University of Toronto 1974, Dalhousie 1976 and York 1976. She was a member of the jury of the 5th International Ballet Competition in Varna, Bulgaria 1970 and of the 2nd International Ballet Competition in Moscow 1973. She was a member of the Canada Council 1983-1988.

Celia Franca was the author of a history of the National Ballet, The National Ballet of Canada: a Celebration (1978), featuring the photographs of Canadian photographer Ken Bell. She was the focus of a 2006 film biography entitled "Tour de Force" by former National Ballet principal Veronica Tennant.

Celia Franca died in Ottawa in 2007.
