Here's more info about the man behind the ballet company that joined forces with the Floyds to produce this unusual rock ballet performance:
Petit, Roland, 1924–, French dancer and choreographer, b. Villemoble. Petit joined the Paris Opéra company at 15and in 1948 founded Les Ballets de Paris de Roland Petit.
His best-known work, Carmen (1949), set to music from Georges Bizet's opera, was created for his company, with Renée (Zizi) Jeanmaire, who later (1954) became his wife, in the title role. Other well-known early works include Le Jeune homme et la mort (1946) and Ballabile (1950). Petit later turned to less classical forms, such as choreographing films, e.g., Hans Christian Andersen (1952) and Daddy Long Legs (1955) and music hall revues (1956–61). He returned to ballet in the 1960s when commissioned to present the Festivals populaires de ballet at the Chaillot theater in France.
In 1972 he founded the Ballet de Marseilles, which he directed until 1997. Among his later dances are Symphonie Fantastique (1975), The Blue Angel (1985) and Clavigo (1999). Petit's chic and theatrical style have made him an extremely popular figure in French dance
