 After more than a century, the ballets of Marius Petipa remain a staple of dance companies around the world. Join Alastair Macaulay (*The New York Times*) and an international panel of dance experts for a symposium shedding new light on Petipa’s formative years in France and Spain, and the preservation of his choreography through a cache of pioneering films rediscovered in Russia in 1995. Alexei Ratmansky (American Ballet Theatre) will offer concluding remarks on his recent reconstructions of *Harlequinade* for ABT and *La Bayadère* for the Staatsballett Berlin, using a unique archive of dance notations in the Harvard Theatre Collection.
