Roland Petit was French dancer and choreographer who founded Ballets de Paris de Roland in 1948 and toured Europe and the United States. Note that The Lady in the Ice was a 1953 ballet composed by Jean-Michel Damase, choreographed by Roland Petit, and directed by Orson Welles (based on his idea). Welles also wrote the libretto and was the ballet's costume and set designer. It was Welles's only attempt at a ballet and, according to Welles, it did very well in London and not-so-well in Paris (because it was very badly lit) NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
