Marius Petipa

Marius Petipa (March 11, 1818 — July 14, 1910) was the French dancer and choreographer who virtually invented the now-traditional structure of classical ballet in a career that was centered at the Imperial Theater in St Petersburg. His most famous works include: Sleeping Beauty, Swan Lake, La Bayadère, Don Quixote, The Little Humpbacked Horse, and The Pharaoh's Daughter, as well as revisions of Giselle, Paquita, and Le Corsaire.
