The Duvalli Sisters (also billed as the Sisters Duvalli, the Duvallis, or the Coutts-Duvalli Sisters) were a troupe performing what was described as burlesque or vaudeville-style entertainments. According to newspaper reports of their performances members included Rosalie Coutts-Duvalli, Claire Coutts-Duvalli, Henrietta Burdett-Coutts, and Heloise Duvalli, who danced, sang, performed impersonations, and appeared in pantomimes. The Duvalli Sisters performed throughout Australia. They toured North America in the late 1870s before returning to Australia in 1880, where they opened a dance academy in Melbourne at the corner of Exhibition and Collins Streets.
