In 1924, Sergeyev utilized the notation to mount Petipa's definitive version of "Giselle" for the Paris Opera Ballet, with the ballerina Olga Spessivtseva in the title role and Anton Dolin as Albrecht. This was not only the first time the Parisian ballet had danced "Giselle" since the 1860s, but also the first Western production of Petipa's version, which is the traditional choreographic text that most ballet companies have always used as a basis for their own productions to date. The choreographic notation of "Giselle" documents when Petipa himself took Anna Pavlova through rehearsals.
