- Biography (note)
- Lucien Petipa, brother of the choreographer and balletmaster Marius Petipa, was a leading male dancer of the Romantic ballet, an era generally dominated by ballerinas.

- Le diable à quatre (choreography, Joseph Mazilier; music, Adolphe Adam) was first performed at the Paris Opéra in 1845. In the role of Count Polinski, a neglectful husband, Petipa becomes an unwitting participant in an innocent form of wife-swapping.
