The 18th century saw the creation of an associated school, now referred to as the Paris Opera Ballet School ([[French language|French]]: École de Danse de l’Opéra de Paris), which opened in 1713. The operas of [[Rameau]], and later [[Gluck]], raised standards for the dancers. [[Jean-Georges Noverre]] was a particularly influential ballet master from 1776 to 1781. He created the ballet ''[[Les petits riens]]'' in 1778 on [[Mozart]]'s music. [[Maximilien Gardel]] was ballet master from 1781, with his brother [[Pierre Gardel]] taking over after Maximilien's death in 1787. Pierre Gardel survived the [[French Revolution|Revolution]] creating ballets such as ''La Marseillaise'' and ''Offrande à la Liberté''.<ref name=Crane/> He remained the ballet master until 1820 and continued to work up to 1829.<ref name=Babsky>Babsky 1998, p. 202.</ref>

In 1820, Pierre Gardel was succeeded as ballet master by [[Jean-Louis Aumer]], who was however highly criticized for using too much mime and failing to use choreography which furthered plot or character.<ref name=Babsky/> In 1821, the company moved to a new house, the [[Salle Le Peletier]], where [[Romantic ballet]] was born. In 1875, the company moved to the [[Palais Garnier]], where it continues to perform.<ref name=Crane/>
