In 1972, Gaston Defferre invited choreographer Roland Petit to establish his company in Marseille—a company that was already renowned in France and worldwide—to revitalize the city's municipal opera. Roland Petit accepted and founded the Ballet de Marseille, anchoring it in the choreographic modernity of the 1970s and 1980s.
