The Pharaoh's Daughter
Petipa would spend the remainder of his career primarily reviving older ballets. In the winter of 1895 Petipa presented lavish updated versions of his 1889 "Le Talisman", and Saint-Léon's 1864 "The Little Humpbacked Horse" (as "La Tsar-Demoiselle"), both with Legnani in the principal rôles. The turn of the 20th century saw Petipa present even more spectacular revivals: "The Pharaoh's Daughter" in 1898; "La Esmeralda", "Giselle" and "Le Corsaire" in 1899; and "La Bayadère" in 1900. These revivals would prove to be Petipa's final "finishing touch" on these works.
