Indeed, many written accounts of the career of Petipa credit him with almost single-handedly revolutionizing ballet, particularly in Russia where he served as the Imperial Ballet’s master of ballet for several years. However, Petipas contribution to classical Russian ballet is over-stated. he did not make his accomplishments single-handedly.
In 1847, for the second time, Marius eloped with another man’s wife(Scholl and Scholl 50). The threat of court proceedings loomed over him. As a result, his family decided that it was time he left France. As Marius’ brother Lucien Petipa had had experience working in Russia, he inquired from Antoine Titus in Petersburg. The events in Marius’ life back in France coincided with Imperial Theatres’ need for a strong male lead for Yelena Andreyanova, a leading female Russian ballet dancer at the Theatres. It was under these circumstances that Marius found himself at the Imperial Theatres(M. Smith 32). Later in the same year, Marius assumed the position of premier danseur at the Imperial Theatres. The position had become vacant following the departure of danseur Emile Gredlu, also a French.
Several factors in Marius’ early life prepared him for his career at the Imperial Theatres(Scholl and Scholl 43). First, Marius was born into an artistic family. His mother was an actress while his father was a reputable choreographer and dancer. Not surprising, the Petipas encouraged their two sons to pursue the performing arts professionally. While Lucien embraced and succeeded at a dance at an earlier age, Marius scorned it and pursued other interests. However, one event would change Marius’ attitude towards dance for the better. As a child, he starred in one of the productions of his father. The event marked the beginning of Marius’ dancing career. .  . .
