Marie-Agnès Gillot startede på Paris National Opera Dance School i 1985. Allerede fem år senere, i en alder af 15 år, blev hun optaget i Corps de ballet. I 1994 blev hun forfremmet til “Subject”, “First Dancer” i 1999 og blev sidenhen udnævnt til “Danseuse Etoile”.
Marie-Agnès Gillot var en efterspurgt danserinde af samtidens koreografer. Med en blanding af styrke og skrøbelighed dansede hun til en femme fatale (som L’Etrangere de Clavigo af Roland Petit eller La Mélodie du Boléro af Maurice Béjart), en romantisk karakter (Catherine in Wuthering Heights af Kader Belarbi eller l’Eurydice af Pina Bausch), grusom (Medea i Drømmen om Medea af Angelin Preljocaj), fri og uforskammet (Tjenerinden fra La Maison de Bernarda af Mats Ek). En virtuos teknik, som hun også stillede til tjeneste for verdenskendte koreografer som Edouard Lock (AndréAuria), Wayne McGregor (Genus, L’Anatomie de la sensation), Benjamin Millepied (Triade), Jiří Kylián (Kaguyahime), William Forsythe (The Vertiginous Thrill of Exactitude , Approximate Sonata), Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui og Damien Jalet (Boléro) og mange andre. I oktober 2012 præsenterede hun Sous Apparence, som er hendes første kreation til Paris National Opera Ballet. Hun tog sit officielle farvel til Paris National Opera i marts 2018 under en rørende opførelse af Orpheus and Eurydice af Pina Bausch.
