Message from the ever-turbulent  Opéra national de Paris:

‘Aurélie Dupont wishes to end her duties as director of dance at the Opéra national de Paris and Alexander Neef, director general of the Opéra national de Paris, has accepted her decision.’

Dupont, 49, leaves next month. She succeeded Benjamin Millepied in 2017.

Dupont, we are told, ‘now wishes to devote herself to personal projects, including a book, a documentary film, a musical, and her family.’
