The Pharaoh's Daughter
Petipa appealed to popular taste with "The Pharaoh's Daughter" (1862), and later "The Talisman" (1889), and "La Bayadère" (1877). Petipa is best remembered for his collaborations with Tchaikovsky. He used his music for his choreography of "The Nutcracker" (1892, though this is open to some debate among historians), "The Sleeping Beauty" (1890), and the definitive revival of "Swan Lake" (1895, with Lev Ivanov). These works were all drawn from European folklore.
