To add substantial contents to the article's text you have to refer to French sources (ballet in France, "a world of its own") -- Surano ( talk) 07:59, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
In French newspaper articles journalists writing reviews about performances usually refer to the Ballet de l'Opéra de Paris (Paris Opera Ballet), official announcements refer to the Ballet de l'Opéra National de Paris (Ballet de l'Opéra National de Paris). There is only one opera in Paris presenting performances in two opera houses ( Opéra Bastille, Palais Garnier) and there is only one Paris Opera Ballet. Other venues are called theatres such as the Théâtre du Châtelet. -- Surano ( talk) 08:33, 29 September 2016 (UTC)

I found some additional evidence supporting Paris Opera Ballet for the article title. It has been used as the name on the company's English-language website: see "The Ballet" and "Paris Opera Ballet | World Creation: L'Anatomie de la Sensation". In addition, it is the name of the article about the company in The International Encyclopedia of Dance (Selma Jeanne Cohen, editor, Oxford University Press, 2004, ISBN 9780195173697). The first sentence in that article reads: "PARIS OPERA BALLET. Many of the leading European and international ballet companies owe their origin, directly or indirectly, to the fame and influence of the world's oldest ballet company, that of the Paris Opera." -- Robert.Allen ( talk) 19:02, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
There have been so few comments from other editors concerning this requested move that I am adding notices to the talk pages of the affected projects. I suggest that the deadline for leaving comments be extended to after 24 July (seven days from today). -- Robert.Allen ( talk) 20:28, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
Support The title is in any case incorrect as "national" should not be capitalised according to French rules. The bolded text in the article is correct, please retain it as alternative title when making the move. You will also need to rename the corresponding category but there are only a few pages to change. -- Mirokado ( talk) 21:18, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
Regarding the capitalization of the alternative French name of the company, this is a bit inconsistent in various English-language sources (not to mention French-language sources, which, however, can be disregarded when reliable English sources exist). We have typically used The New Grove Dictionary of Opera as a guide for the capitalization of titles of operas. I would suggest we do the same for French names of opera companies. That source capitalizes adjectives such as "National", for example it gives "Académie Royale de Musique" for the name during the periods of monarchy, "Académie Impériale de Musique" for the name during the empire, and "Théâtre National de l'Opéra" for the name of the company after 1870. -- Robert.Allen ( talk) 18:07, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
Where does the title of the assembly, Ballet du Théâtre de l'Académie Royale de Musique, fit in? It is used as an entry for the On This Day, of June 28th, 2017 Main Page post for the article on the play Giselle, and it is used again in the article Giselle, but it is never used in the article of the theatre itself, Paris Opera Ballet. It is also a redirect to that article, but omitted from reference within the article. Is this an oversight? Stevenmitchell ( talk) 22:07, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
