		Petit, who, along with Maurice Béjart, is indisputably one of the greatest choreographers France has produced in the 20th century, will be the first guest artist of honor this season on the Palais Garnier stage with his new world creation, Clavigo, a two-act ballet running October 15-27.
		Petit started his career at the Paris Opera Ballet School back in 1933 and stayed 11 years in the corps de ballet, until he plucked up the courage to hand in his resignation, aware that he would never find himself on the list of the “chosen ones” gradually groomed to become soloists or étoiles.
		Petit has loosely based his ballet on the frivolous libertine lifestyle of this character and his liaisons dangereuses, but “true blue” to the Paris Opera tradition, he couldn’t resist throwing in a Faustian theme, along with an attractive array of unattainable female phantoms to torment and punish the restless spirit of the hapless hero.

		And Roland Petit, France's most celebrated choreographer since Marius Petipa (only Maurice Bejart could be considered a rival), has now been working at his art and craft since 1945.
		In fact, Petit's choreographic career had started even earlier, in 1942, at the age of sixteen when he was a very junior member of the Paris Opera Ballet, and two years later he was contributing works to the celebrated "Vendredis de la Danse," organized by Irene Lidova at the Theatre Sarah-Bernhardt.
		Petit is a true worker in the theater of miracles.

		Begun as a scree by the real-life Beaumarchais (author of "The Barber of Seville" and "The Marriage of Figaro") against the real-life socialite and journalist Jose Clavijo after the latter ruined the former's sister Lisette, it was advanced dramatically by Goethe, who made it into his first play on a challenge from a girlfriend.
		Yared is operating more in the terrain of Stravinsky -- which is not necessarily to put him on the same high level as Stravinsky, but to say he is not stingy with the variety of notes he provides, nor with their narrative and character specificity.
		Petit is given a lot to work with, and, in turn, gives the dancers a choreography that is much more than generalized romantic, or elementary mime, but uses the many levels, and many different physical relations between partners.

		It is from Goethe’s play that Roland Petit draws freely for his themes for this ballet.
		Petit’s choreography is striking, often quite startlingly original and makes much demand upon his dancers, putting them through the most extraordinary, almost impossible-seeming contortions, but without sacrificing taste and refinement.
		Petit’s choreography for all the lead singers and corps de ballet, who all shine, is consistently imaginative and beautifully realised in pas de deux, pas de trois or ensemble.
