Welcome to episode 2 of my mini series Ballet History Talk, filmed on the 12th June 2025.
The Belgian capital was the Petipa’s home for 12 years; it is where Marius Petipa and Lucien Petipa spent their childhoods and started their ballet training. Their father Jean-Antoine Petipa was Ballet Master of the Theatre Royale de la Monnaie, where Marius and Lucien made their first stage appearances. Lucien would later take the post of Ballet Master at La Monnaie from 1872 to 1873.
Enjoy! :)
