U příležitosti sta let od smrti světového choreografa Maria Petipy
Abstrakt
In her article Professor
Božena Brodská recalls one
of the greatest personalities of
the world ballet scene – Marius
Petipa, who died 100 years ago.
Marius Petipa was born into the
family of French dancer and ballet
master, Jean-Antoine Petipa, in
Marseille on March 11, 1818 and
made his début a s a dancer in
Brussel in 1831. While his older
brother Lucien Petipa became the
first soloist of the Paris Opera in
1839, Marius went on a not very
successful tour of the USA, then
danced in Bordeaux and Madrid,
where he learned Spanish dance.
Being more a demi-character kind
of dancer, he never entered the
Paris Opera, but took classes with
the acclaimed Auguste Vestris. In
1847 he finally established his
long career in St. Petersburg,
which lasted until 1903. He
danced in most of the ballets of
Jules Perrot and Arthur Saint-
Léon and from 1862 he became
the first ballet master of the
Imperial Ballet in St. Petersburg,
following the success of his ballet
La fille du Pharaon to the music
of Cesare Pugni. Nevertheless,
it was his collaboration with the
composer P. I. Tchaikovsky which
kept his choreography alive on
contemporary stages all over the
world. He died on July 14, 1910 at
Gurzuf, Crimea.
