Yorgos Loukos, ballet director of the Opéra de Lyon, has been jailed for six months and fined 25,000 Euros for refusing to renew the contract of a dancer who was returning from maternity leave.

Loukos, 69, was convicted of charges of job discrimination and harassment.

The dancer apparently recorded their conversations.
