The Ballet National de Marseille is an internationally acclaimed dance company based in Marseille, France. The company combines modern and classical dance.〔 ==Overview== The Ballet National de Marseille was founded by the dancer and choreographer Roland Petit in 1972.〔 The company's first production was the Pink Floyd Ballet. Roland Petit's young daughter had given him a Pink Floyd album and told him he should make a ballet from it. The idea matured, and the ballet eventually debuted in Marseille at the Palais des Sports. The band itself performed at the first show. Since then the Pink Floyd Ballet has been staged several times in cities around the world. Under Roland Petit the company's program included modern dance featuring Petit's wife Zizi Jeanmaire, who became famous throughout France. In 1992 the École Nationale Supérieure de Danse de Marseille (Marseille National Higher School of Dance) was established. The company and the school were housed in a new building with a 300-seat theater and nine rehearsal studios, two of which are reserved for the company. The company has a staff of 70, of whom half are dancers. The school has an intake of about 120 students each year, providing nine years of training in dance.〔 Marie-Claude Pietragalla was appointed Director General of the company and of the school in March 1998, holding this position until 2004. Frédéric Flamand was appointed artistic director in September 2004. Before this he had directed Charleroi Danses in Belgium from 1991 to 2004 and made that institution well known not only in Belgium but also internationally.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Presentation )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ballet National de Marseille」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
