Written by: Carolina Corvillo

Agustina Carolina del Carmen Otero Iglesias, born in the Galician village of Valga at the end of the 19th century, was not destined to be a star. And yet she shone on the stages of Paris, New York and Europe until she became the most dazzling dancer, muse, singer and courtesan of the Belle Époque.

  This is the story of her highs, her lows and her confessions; of what happened on and off stage at the Moulin Rouge, the Folies Bergère and the Eden Musée.

  The story of how La Belle Otero seduced destiny and became the architect of her own legend.
