The Paris Opéra Ballet

Ivor Guest
The Paris Opéra Ballet is the cradle of ballet, tracing the origin of ballet as a theatre art back to its foundation by Louis XIV in 1669. Over three centuries dance has retained its place as a potent element in its repertory in a long sequence of ballets and divertissements that have been presented on a succession of stages, culminating in the Palais Garnier and the Opéra Bastille. In 1976, to mark the centenary year of the former of those two theatres, Ivor Guest was commissioned by the Opéra to write the history of its ballet, a work which he brought up to date in 2002 and which is now presented for the first time in an english edition.
